QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough and long enough, it is neutral and well sourced. Earwig picks up a bit of a quote, but otherwise no close phrasing, so all OK. QPQ is done. Hook is interesting, but I couldn't see a reference to the Singles Chart in the source - could you clariy the chart part of the hook? Thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I kept rewording the hook. Try [1].--Laun chba ller 18:15, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Launchballer - hook is good (& citation archived here), all OK Lajmmoore (talk) 09:13, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer and Lajmmoore: am I missing something, or is the hook just not that interesting? Is there nothing better than "... that a singer sung a song which appeared (fairly low) on a songs chart?" ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:03, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The interesting bit is "queer anthem", given that neither Egypt or Sudan are known for positive attitudes to homosexuality.--Laun chba ller 06:09, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose. Why is she called English in the lead then? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:23, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because I assumed that she was until I wrote the article, and forgot to take that bit out. I think there's some MOS dictum that says nationality should be left out of the first sentence altogether, so that's what I've done.--Laun chba ller 01:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I just read MOS:BIOFIRSTSENTENCE and it says to include it. It now says "Egyptian alt-pop musician of Sudanese descent".--Laun chba ller 09:20, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

'Egyptian'?

Shouldn't it be 'British-Egyptian' or something like that? They've lived in Britain since age 8, they've spoken in Arabic only to their mother and in English to everyone else, they are having their musical career in the UK - I'd say all of this makes them far more British than Egyptian. I also highly doubt that they would have come out as a 'they' and had a musical career as a 'they' in an Egyptian cultural context either. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 22:21, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
