A fact from Feel It (MJ Cole song) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 October 2023 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Tommy Villiers, the guitarist for "Feel It", has been a member of five different bands?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that although Piri & Tommy had been releasing music for two years, their collaborative single "Feel It" with MJ Cole was their first single to be recorded in a studio?
Overall: Needs some way of verifying the source, either by digging up the original radio broadcast or (preferably) finding a static, high-quality source. Unverifiable source accepted on good faith. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 19:17, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think usual DYK policy is to AGF such an offline source, though I have made it into a cite AV media instead. QPQ provided.--Launchballer11:56, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think you're right. Approved on that basis.
Slightly late now, but I notice that the word single is repeated: suggest deleting on second use for concision. Doesn't affect the overall picture, though. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a fair enough cop at any point in my opinion; a promoter could very well say the same thing. I propose ALT1: ... that although Piri & Tommy had been releasing music for two years, their collaborative single "Feel It" with MJ Cole was their first to be recorded in a studio?--Launchballer12:35, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree about this not being interesting. I would imagine lots of musicians record outside a studio, so "although X had been releasing music for N years, their Y was their first to be recorded in a studio?" is true for many values of X, N, and Y. Assuming it could be verified, the bit about previously recording in their bedrooms would be hookier. RoySmith(talk)12:50, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking about this a bit more. The AGF logic used above was flawed. We AGF when we know there's a legitimate and identifiable source which just happens not to be available on-line, but a complete enough citation that somebody could reasonably find it. Books, periodicals, etc, have titles, publishers, publication dates, page numbers, catalog numbers, etc. Somebody could go to an appropriate library or archive and find the item in question from those. But that's not what we have here. We've got "Tinea. 5 April 2023. Kiss". Even assuming somebody could decypher that into "A program titled 'Tinea' which was broadcast on a radio station called 'Kiss' on 5 April 2023", that's insufficient to find it. Is there an archive of everything Kiss broadcast that day? We don't know. If there is, how would one locate it other than listening to 24 hours of streaming audio in the hopes of recognizing something? You provided a URL that you say was in a previous version of the citation, but that URL 404's. In short, there's no way an interested reader could find the original source material to verify it.

I think I see what you're driving at. I can offer you a copy of the schedule from last Wednesday, which points you to this series, which is two hours long, and I think she occupied the third quarter; most radio programmes she's on like to trail her appearance, although I really regret not taking down the timestamp at the time. (Unless I'm going blind, the only time parameter in Template:Cite episode is for a timestamp within the programme.) As for the hook, I can either offer ALT2: ... that Feel It was the first song Piri & Tommy recorded outside of their bedrooms?, or you can wait until I've finished my Tommy Villiers draft and we can go with something that starts "that the Feel It guitarist Tommy Villiers". (Probably "is the great-great-great-grandson of the British Prime Minister John Russell", unless I either find something else or can't get back to Fulham Library to verify where exactly within Burke's it is.)--Launchballer09:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was actually thinking of the following wording since I think it's hookier and puts more emphasis on the bedrooms thing
ALT2a ... that prior to the release of "Feel It", all of Piri & Tommy's songs were recorded in their bedrooms?
Not quite sure who's "got" this one any more. I like alt2b and think it's just as verifiable as the original: I was always happy to AGF on the radio source, so if that objection is now considered resolved, I'd support promoting this one. UndercoverClassicistT·C18:30, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still uncomfortable with this, for the reasons I outlined above. I did a bunch of searching and couldn't find anything to back this up. This is a currently performing popular music act. You would expect there would be all sorts of coverage on the interwebs. That I can't find anything leaves me uneasy. RoySmith(talk)03:22, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, I listened to the broadcast having been alerted to its existence by Instagram. I do have a policy of not citing sources I haven't seen (or listened to, in this case); Debrett's almost certainly has the claim that Tommy is the great-great-grandson of Thomas Hyde Villiers, but because I can't see it on preview, I used it for what I could see (up to Hugo) and used Burke's for the rest.--Launchballer14:24, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yesterday, Tommy Villiers was approved, but only for ALT1 (perhaps Vaticidalprophet missed that it was a double nom?). ALT3 (above), which incorporated that article, is sourced to books that can be found in libraries; Debrett's can be found in The British Library, while Burke's, which I used for most of it, I got from Fulham Library. They are both verifiable - in fact, I even took the liberty of drawing up a family tree to make obvious which bit I got from where.--Launchballer09:45, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at that one for days and had no idea what to do with it -- it looked clear that the combined-hook one wasn't going to run, and "a nomination includes both combined hooks and separate hooks, the combined one is rejected" is not something for which I've seen sufficient precedent about how to handle the other half of the combination. Going by how long it sat at DYKNA, I'm guessing everyone else did the same. I eventually promoted it for the one that was approved in that specific nomination; I make no statements and have no opinions on how to promote the article in the rejected combined hook. Vaticidalprophet09:51, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the only interesting hook failed verification, which is why I propose moving the Tommy Villiers stuff over here for a joint nomination, and leaving the Ur Mum stuff there. ALT3 is unusable as it is no longer in either article (see that nom). I therefore propose:
I just rechecked the article and it turns out I can't count. Not going to bother reworking ALT6, but it's five bands, I missed Dojo Dojo off. I therefore propose:
on that basis.
I've unpromoted this because it fails WP:V. See the thread at WT:DYK#Feel It (MJ Cole song). It can be re-promoted later if better sourcing can be found. RoySmith (talk) 01:45, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
