Polyester Girl

[edit]

Created by Freikorp (talk). Self nominated at 07:16, 28 August 2014 (UTC).

  • I would hardly call it a "hit radio song" - it made the charts on one alternative Australian radio station (and in New Zealand, although that hardly counts ;) ). In fairness, this review cited in the article does actually describe the song as an "Australian radio hit", but I think the hook is misrepresenting it a bit. 97198 (talk) 08:40, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that the Australian hit radio song "Polyester Girl" is about a man "pledging fidelity to a sex doll"?
  • Well I was basing the 'radio hit' part of the hook off that reference. Providing ALT1 based on your concern. If you could review ALT1 review or suggest an ALT of your own I would appreciate it. Thanks 97198. Freikorp (talk) 08:47, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
  • for ALT1; I think "Australian" is a fair modifier to the hook. The article was created on 28 August, is long enough and well referenced, and the hook is cited to a reliable source. No close paraphrasing identified by dup detector, and QPQ is done. Well done! 97198 (talk) 10:25, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
