Article promoted to GA on 21 January, long enough, neutral and plagiarism free. Hook interesting and referenced. QPQ done. There's a tag that stated the image need a more detailed non-free use rationale, but since the article got promoted to GA anyway I'm assuming it's fine.

Comment on ALT1: Probably remove "signature" and replace it with "the rock styles of his previous releases". HĐ (talk) 15:34, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hatnote

As this is the primary topic, a navigational hatnote to other topics of the same name should be included. There is currently one page with the same name, as to whether it links to the redirect or the redirect's destination, I'm not fussed, but it does need to be included. EleniSpelmen, however, has removed it twice, claiming that "the link to the page doesn't exist" (despite the fact that links to redirects aren't broken). What does everyone else think about this? Sean Stephens (talk) 23:18, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The hatnote should be included as readers may be looking for the Flight Facilities song. It is more likely that people will be looking up this song, but the hatnote would be beneficial regardless. Aoba47 (talk) 03:48, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Because I was reverted, I thought it best to follow BRD before attempting to return it. Awaiting further discussion before I do anything, however. Sean Stephens (talk) 11:24, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
