DYK nom came on the same day the article was created, so the article is new enough. The article is long enough at 1607 characters. The image on the article is a low-res album cover, so that's fine. The COPYVIO detector only pings on the list of songs, which is no problem. I see no policy issues with the article. The hook is short enough at 158 characters (with spaces). The source does back up the hook and appears in the article, although to be fair the source cited only says Stewart "sings the shit" out of "some old tune" which this from EW (also in the article) verifies is Gasoline Alley. The song title should probably be in italics rather than quotations. QPQ was done. I'd go with ALT1 per WP:NOTCENSORED. Chris Troutman (talk) 01:39, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, that policy applies to the article, and not necessarily a hook. --evrik ^(talk) 03:28, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see the quote "sing the shit" in the inline cite (footnote 6). Is the reviewer looking at something on this template instead? Yoninah (talk) 20:46, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: It's in citation 7, not 6, in the left of the two text columns, a little more than halfway down, at the start of the second full paragraph: "Then Rod Stewart sings the shit out of some old tune..." Chris Troutman (talk) 21:34, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris troutman: well, an inline citation needs to be right after the sentence in which the phrase is used. Yoninah (talk) 21:38, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Done Chris Troutman (talk) 21:55, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Restoring tick per your review. Yoninah (talk) 22:00, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lennox

I pulled the phrase about Lennox because the source wasn't clear that it was this performance that was the best work she's ever done or the song itself. —valereee (talk) 15:17, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add that back in because few women are mentioned in the article. What I said, ""Why" by Annie Lennox may be the performance of her career," while the source says, "the best thing she's ever done."

Hunter, James (February 1995). "The Unplugged Collection, Volume One". Spin: 75–6.

--evrik ^(talk) 15:29, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Evrik, my concern was the source says "Lennox waltzes in from Switzerland and sings "Why," the best thing she's ever done." Does it mean this performance of Why is the best thing she's ever done, or does it mean Why is the best thing she's ever done? Agree on mentioning her/her perfomance. I just want to make sure we aren't putting words into Hunter's mouth. —valereee (talk) 15:52, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ETA: this may be my general ignorance of music, although I love Lennox. Why does seem to be considered among her best creations in general, I think? If you're sure your interpretation is correct, I'm good with it. :) —valereee (talk) 16:00, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
