... that the lead singer of the English rock band The 1975 wrote the song "Sincerity Is Scary" in order to "denounce all of that postmodern fear of ... being real"? Source:[1]

Overall: Article was moved from a redirect on the day before nomination. Long Enough, lots of details. One paragraph does not have a source, but it could be argued the other paragraphs in section do. It is relatively neutral, though obviously written by a fan. Hook is interesting and clearly quoted in cited source. Copyvio likely triggered by quoting song lyrics, but should be reviewed further. Submitter has only one dyk so no qpq dm (talk)
@Dmadeo: I had a look but most of the quotations that got the article above 40% are song names of the album from which it came from ("A Brief Inquiry", "It's Not Living", "Sincerity Is Scary", etc.) which are also used in the Genius page. Also, as Genius is a little bit like Wikipedia in the sense that it can be edited by anyone, it contains quotations from other sources, notably from Beats 1, a source which is also used in the article for Sincerity Is Scary. Also, I don't think there are quoted lyrics in the article, just from the the Genius session in which The 1975 took part. I think that, if all song titles, album titles and other quotes from other articles are used, then it would be below 40%. I hope that's an okay explanation. I added that source from NME that was missing as well. MikeOwendiscuss 09:29, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
I mentioned lyrics, but I really should have said song titles. I agree with your reply, especially when writing articles about songs that a lot of the same text (such as song titles and band member names) will be repeated. I still thought it was important to highlight. Thank you for updating the citation. dm (talk) 15:06, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
