... that the Kettering producer Goddard. started concentrating on writing to help him grieve the loss of someone close to him?
- ALT1: ... that the Kettering producer Goddard. released records with two different Loud LDN members, Venbee and Charlotte Haining?
- ALT2: ... that Goddard. learned Reason?
- ALT3: ... that Venbee and Goddard.'s "Messy in Heaven" spent fifteen weeks at the top of the UK Dance Singles Chart?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Ciprofol
- Comment: I might siphon off Reason from Reason Studios if I judge it to meet WP:GNG. In addition, there is a DYK nom for Charlotte Haining; if this goes out first, I might say "please bold it here and I'll come up with a different hook for House Gospel Choir", though I need longer to make that decision.

5x expanded by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 13:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Goddard.; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

This article is currently at AFD, and so I'm placing this DYK nom on hold, pending the outcome of the AFD. If the article is kept, then it can be reviewed for DYK. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:04, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article has been kept. Joseph2302?--Laun chba ller 20:27, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer needed for this, now that it's been kept at AFD. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Going to approve pending an answer on the following query: my review of the sources seems to indicate that the common name for this artist is "goddard." as opposed to the currently used "Goddard.". I lean towards a page move to reflect this capitalization scheme. If Launchballer does not feel this is necessary, I'll defer to their judgement. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC) [Note: due to a request, I am not posting the generally required template to Launchballer's talk page. Please refrain for notifying them, as the u template is sufficient.][reply]

WP:NCLOWERCASEFIRST means that such a move would be impossible; changing the display name would be as simple as adding Template:Lowercase title to the page. However, usual practice is apparently to title articles in WP:SENTENCECASE, and to disregard capitalisation per User talk:Launchballer#Piri and Piri & Tommy stylisations - although I really, really don't like it, I think it's so hypocritical when we entertain just about every other stylisation going ("Beachin" instead of "Beaching", "Nice 2 Me" instead of "Nice To Me" - hell, even "OMG I Rly Like U" instead of "OMG I Really Like You").--Laun chba ller 20:35, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ done, survived AfD, reasonably sourced article, no image, expanded and nom'd appropriately. Hooks are good and sourced and my preference is ALT2 (what can I say? It's cute.). Launchballer, that's a maddening bug that I had either forgotten about or had not heard of; thanks for letting me know. I agree–it is a hypocritical arrangement. Glad to give you the tick! ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:54, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reason (software) is pretty obviously notable, and I've just chucked a quick article together based on a previous revision. QPQ's done, could I add Reason to the nomination?

ALT4: ... that Goddard. learned Reason?--Laun chba ller 22:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend only a minor change, Launchballer: "... that goddard. learned Reason?" I see it as something of a formatting joke. Otherwise, QPQ being done and me seeing no reason not to approve, I say good to go. ~ Pbritti (talk) 00:50, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Full stop after name/"as half of which he released"

Why is the article title "Goddard." when the name is given in the infobox without the full stop, and there is no mention in the article of the alias including a full stop? MartinPoulter (talk) 11:27, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is confusing; shouldn't it be "who released", meaning that it was the duo "Ag." who released the mentioned singles/EPs, not Andrew Goddard? If those were solo releases, then why is Ross Quinn even mentioned in the sentence? MartinPoulter (talk) 11:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the liberty of merging your posts together. I reworded it to "who released", although I'm sure you could have done that yourself. I put this at "Goddard." as natural disambiguation as there was already an Andrew Goddard and "Goddard." is his stage name per [1][2][3] (well, "goddard." really, but I said my piece on capitalisation earlier); I've added a brief mention on the article.--Laun chba ller 14:45, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: Thanks for fixing these issues. I didn't fix them myself because I don't know anything about this topic and the existing text was ambiguous, as I explained above. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 13:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
