The hook is just a play on words with the band and the name of their album. Not an appropriate hook, see here. Propose something else. In the meantime, let's check the other criteria

@Cambalachero: whoops! I'll try some new hooks.

I hope one of these fits! Also, thanks for reviewing. – The Sharpest Lives (💬•✏️•ℹ️) (ping me!) 02:42, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 seems to be a good one. Cambalachero (talk) 13:57, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cambalachero: Should I take this as passed, or do you need anything else? – The Sharpest Lives (💬•✏️•ℹ️) (ping me!) 16:27, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The green tick means that it's all ready. Our part in this is complete, now someone will eventually find that this DYK nomination is approved, move it to a temporary location, and then place it on the main page once it's its turn in the queue. Only waiting remains. Cambalachero (talk) 16:33, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, thanks! – The Sharpest Lives (💬•✏️•ℹ️) (ping me!) 16:46, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
