The article length is well above the minimum of 1,500 characters. However, there is no hook with which it could confirm the statement in the nomination. Arius1998 (talk) 02:31, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Armstrong states that the band had never tried to make a dance song before and this was for the first time that they had written such song - If this isn't enough, I think that ALT2 is clearly valid :) TheSpecialUser ^TSU 08:40, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

ALT2 - ... that "Kill the DJ", by Green Day was released on 14 August 2012, however, it was also played at a secret show by the band eight days before its release on 6 August 2012?

Needs review of ALT2, and general review of article beyond its length. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:08, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
