- Article meets newness and length requirements, QPQ is completed. Well sourced for a relatively short article. I don't feel like the picture would work particularly well on the main page, and after all is not of the article's subject, but its artist. Also, I think the first hook is problematic in that it doesn't make sense to the lay reader: why does the fact a verse was sent by email have any relation to an attempt at a label signing? I would say that ALT1 is interesting with the ten year delay and makes the reader want to know why and click further. However, neither source [7] nor [12] mention the 2010 release, if indeed uploading onto SoundCloud counts as a single release (I don't know).
So, the only hook I can support
at the moment is ALT2, which is sufficiently engaging and supported directly by a source, but like I say, I prefer without the photograph. Rcsprinter123 (blab) 20:24, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
