Moved to mainspace by Miraclepine (talk).

I'll be picking this up for review and hope to finish within the week. For now my suggestion would be to strike ALT2 as it's a niche hook since non-anime fans may not know who Ogata is and thus may not get the context or how Ogata is a big deal. Either ALT0 or ALT1 should be fine as long as "all-male" is kept in the wording. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:56, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: I have struck out ALT2. I figured I had to add an edge case considering there (surprisingly for a recently-rising anime star) wasn't much to get from the article. ミラP@Miraclepine 03:55, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! The article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination (originally a draft but was moved to mainspace on April 15, which is just within the 7 days requirement). It is adequately sourced and free from close paraphrasing. A QPQ has been provided. ALT0/ALT1 are essentially the same hook and is properly cited; assuming good faith for the source but a Google Translate check checks out. The hook is interesting even for those unfamiliar with the band in question (myself included). Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:41, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
