'Jump' for next single?[edit]

It's highly likely as that has a bunch of famous artists like Skillibeng and Gunna so maybe? It's also been quite popular and getting some love so we'll just have to wait and see. This0k (talk) 19:42, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This0k, I am actually working on "Jump" since it charted and it is getting more streams by the day, but it's a song that never headlined anything or at least I haven't seen such sources. For now if I try to publish the article it will rely on the album reviews and charts for survival which might not be quite right. Thoughts? dxneo (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I made the page. It has reliable citations but is a stub right now. This0k (talk) 22:23, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems it got deleted. @Cybertrip may I ask why the article can't be created. I know I made it as a single article at first by accident but if made as a song article it should be okay. This0k (talk) 21:07, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dxneo: good on you for nominating this article. I'm unfortunately quite busy with academics to help can def give suggestions if you'd like a successful review! On first glance I think it's missing something like a "Music and lyrics" section, and probably needs more info in the "Background and release" and "Commercial performance" sections. Feel free to use the juicy info from the interviews I've linked above, it'll be very useful. Also just to point out a small technical issue: the citations in the "Commercial performance" section are WP:DUPREFs of those in the "Charts" section. Best of luck with the nomination :) —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 06:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Cybertrip, I'm now working on it. Although I do not really think the sources on this talk really helps that, I'm willing to reuse the sources cited in the Critical reception section instead as I think they are more detailed, thoughts on that? I have used references from the Charts section twice because they are template-generated and therefore cannot be reused. Another thing, do I have use audio files also? I've once heard file have to be discussed but I've never came across a discussion of that sort. Please do reach out. dxneo (talk) 09:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dxneo: While album reviews are partial and opinionated, they can be used for specific details such as genres and instruments used (i.e. NME says "Jump" is a dancehall song). The auto-generated references can and must be reused, using the "refname=" parameter (I've done this edit to show you how). Audio files don't need to be discussed but they usually must be used to support a claim or idea (e.g. this Doja sample supports the paragraph about the album having "disco" and "funk"). —cybertrip👽 ( 💬 • 📝) 19:34, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't thank you enough Cybertrip you the best. I'll work on the duprefs now, and the media file(s) and I'll alert you when I'm done. Also, I noticed you rewrote the lead but forgot to reference it on the body but I think I have covered it.

Thank you for everything. dxneo (talk) 20:38, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
