Volví a Nacer edit

5x expanded by Luisnh1210 (talk), Magiciandude (talk). Nominated by Magiciandude (talk) at 04:46, 27 October 2013 (UTC).

  • Recently expanded more than fivefold, no copyvio detected, QPQ done. I don't see the hook specifically mentioned and sourced in the article. The hook suggests that the song (rather than Vives) took an international hiatus. No need for the hyphen in "number one", but there should be one in "eight-year".

ALT 1: ... that the song "Volví a Nacer" by Carlos Vives reached number one in Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, and the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States and received a Nuestra Tierra award for Song of the Year?
ALT 2: ... that the song "Volví a Nacer" is described by Carlos Vives as a ""song of love" and "joy" of Colombian vallenato music?
ALT 3: ... that the song "Volví a Nacer" by Carlos Vives spent sixteen weeks on top of Colombia's National-Report chart and received a Nuestra Tierra award for Song of the Year?

  • ALT3 is incomplete, making it sound like the song vacationed in Colombia. The "sixteen weeks in Colombia" should be something like "sixteen weeks on top of Colombia's National-Report chart". MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 19:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Corrected. Wow, I've been out of the DYK nomination process for too long. Erick (talk) 19:13, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
I think the sixteen weeks still needs a source. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 19:23, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
That would mean having to source every week on the chart though (which be found here and here). Perhaps just mentioned the countries it reached number one at and the Nuestra Tierra would suffice? Erick (talk) 19:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
It would be easier to find one source (outside of Wikipedia) that mentions the sixteen weeks at number one, but you could propose an ALT4 if you want to do that. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 19:56, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
I've updated ALT 1 to reflect on my above suggestion. EDIT: Wait, I think I found a source, let me include it in the article. EDIT 2: Never mind, I think I'll go with my above suggestion. Erick (talk) 20:03, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
ALT1 is well sourced now. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 21:05, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT1 is 215 characters long, well over the DYK maximum of 200, so it isn't eligible at the moment. I've struck it; please remember to strike any other unapproved hooks when hooks are approved. Thanks, and good luck! BlueMoonset (talk) 18:18, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

ALT 4 ... that the song "Volví a Nacer" by Carlos Vives reached number one in Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, and the Hot Latin Songs chart in the United States? Erick (talk) 18:58, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I think we are finally good to go. Sourced, interesting, not too long, no copyvio. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 05:46, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
