At AFD right now, but a definite keeper. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:39, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

The outcome of the AfD is a foregone conclusion so I won't consider it here. Length, date and sourcing are all fine. No problems with neutrality and I presume Magnus Manske and Crisco don't have a COI concerning boy bands. ;-) ALT1 looks the better of the two, but I think an ALT2 based on the original hook might be funnier.

ALT2: ... that the Indonesian boy band Coboy Junior are only allowed to tour on weekends, as they have to go to school the rest of the week?

ALT2 is nice too. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:05, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

I have struck ALT1 as it isn't unusual - countless bands "use love" to sell songs. I'm not that keen on the original hook either. I like ALT2, but I don't think it needs the second clause - "only allowed to tour on weekends" is plenty intriguing enough by itself IMO. Gatoclass (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Hold until AfD closed, at which time approval can be reinstated and the article repromoted. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
