@Arcahaeoindris: Good article. But, these hooks aren't really that interesting to me. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:04, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- Wondering if Theleekycauldron could think up a better hook here since she's interested in music. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:38, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- Well, I was going to write:
- ALT2:
... that fans of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard speculated that their upcoming album would be called Auto-Cremate? - ALT3:
... that many of the songs in King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's Infest the Rats' Nest are written in 7/4 time?
- Both of those actually fail verification, though (despite being stated in the article). The speculation wasn't necessarily targeted at Infest the Rats' Nest as much as it was at an upcoming album in particular, and the cited source actually doesn't point to any songs in this album that use 7/4, merely that the band is fond of it. Speaking of which, a lot of the sources in the article seem to be less-than-reputable niche music indie/pop sources? Anyways, how about:
- ALT4: ... that King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's "cli-fi" thrash metal album addresses a mix of current ecological threats and attempts to find another planet to live on?
- Yeah, that's technically a C6 violation, but I'd argue that for the medium we're working with (fictional songwriting), an overt climate angle is a fairly unusual and creative way to go about it. I don't got much better than that, unfortunately. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:43, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Arcahaeoindris: Are you still interested in pursuing this nomination? Can you please take a look at the new hooks? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- An independent reviewer'll be needed for ALT4. More to the point, though, Arcahaeoindris does need to address the raised article issues. I'd say we should give that about a week before considering whether to move to close. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:15, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi all, I'd be happy with alt4. I've also tweaked the wording in the article - thanks for picking up on the verification problem for ALT3. I personally felt that the theme of the album itself was interesting enough for a DYK hook but welcome the alternate suggestions. Arcahaeoindris (talk) 09:22, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the help everyone. Pinging Onegreatjoke again for their input. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:36, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Hook is fine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:07, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
