... that Guantanamo Bay prison probably didn't have an official playlist?

ALT1: ... that the creator of the theme song for Barney laughed when he found out it was used during American interrogations? Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/jun/19/usa.guantanamo
ALT2: ... that Drowning Pool played "Bodies" at Gitmo after it was used to torture a detainee there? Source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/postcard-from-guantanamo-slahi-guantanamo-diary/, https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/guantanamo/article160037809.html
Reviewed:
Comment: I personally prefer ALT1, but it's a minor preference. Edit October 31: New hook added, which I think I like more.

5x expanded by Based5290 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.

QPQ: None required.

Overall:

Oof, that's a heavy topic. Article appears to be new enough and long enough. Reading through it, it appears balanced. Earwig is unhappy, but this appears to be due to the lengthy quotes. No QPQ needed, and no image. Looks good to go. Preference for ALT 1 or ALT 2 — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:59, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gitmo playlist → Music torture in the war on terror – About half of the sources on the page currently lump in music torture at Gitmo with the other American detention camps in the War on Terror, so I think we should expand the scope of this article beyond Gitmo. @AirshipJungleman29 did suggest "Auditory torture in Guantanamo Bay", but most of the sources almost exclusively focus on music. It's possible both are just pitfalls of music, but I think this is still good enough reason for a move. Based5290 :3 (talk) 07:35, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
