  • 16px Not a review, but considering precedent and how the hook appears to be primarily based on song lyrics from the album, the hook as currently written may not meet WP:DYKFICTION. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:27, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
  • :@Narutolovehinata5 This was intended to be about/refer to the Look Killa short film, not the lyrics, as sourced from the film synopsis provided in the source // Chchcheckit (talk) 16:31, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

::::That would also violate DYKFICTION, if the hook is based on the short film's plot or story. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:45, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::thanks for clarifying, I guess this is an immediate fail? again idk how this works // Chchcheckit (talk) 01:10, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::You will just need to propose a hook that doesn't violate WP:DYKFICTION. Please read the guideline to have an idea of what to propose. If you want, you can ask for help from an experienced editor like {{u|Launchballer}} regarding this. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:15, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::There's an awful lot of the Release and promotion section that wants culling per WP:INDISCRIMINATE, but I'll do that myself in my time. Creative works such as albums are quite hard to find hooks for; I went to examine "that snippets used to promote Destroy Lonely's debut album were distorted", but I don't see what makes Our Generation Music reliable, but I can suggest "that at a Destroy Lonely concert promoting an edition of his debut album, some fans entered his car". (The source is LA Weekly, which was recently criticized at WP:RSN, but the source predates the AI slop so should be okay, but I'd look for another source just in case.) I'm on the fence as to whether "that Anthony Fantano ranked If Looks Could Kill as the fifth worst album of 2023" is too negative for WP:DYKHOOKSTYLE.--Launchballer 23:29, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::::again im kinda up for uh failing this. also yeah ik some parts are overlong // Chchcheckit (talk) 17:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::{{ping|Launchballer}} To answer your question, I think the prohibition against excessively negative hooks (except when warranted) only applies to BLPs. This obviously isn't one, so it arguably is fine. Having said that, if the nominator no longer wants to pursue this then this can be closed as a withdrawn nomination.

:::::::::: that being said at least i have an idea of what i should do here or wht to look out for, should i try again // Chchcheckit (talk) 14:04, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::A nomination doesn't fail just because the hook doesn't work. (It can fail if there are no available hooks in the article, but I don't think this is the case here.) If you're alright with either of the following:

:::::::::::ALT1: ... that at a Destroy Lonely concert promoting an edition of his debut album, some fans entered his car?

:::::::::::ALT2: ... that Anthony Fantano ranked If Looks Could Kill as the fifth worst album of 2023?

:::::::::::I'll call for a reviewer. (I have a policy of reviewing articles oldest first; Naruto may get here before I do.)--Launchballer 14:38, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::: I'd say ALT 1 because ALT 2 is 1. fantano and 2. opinionated ig. also i think ALT 1 could be written better idk // Chchcheckit (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::::: as in ALT 2 kinda feeds in an idea about how ppl should see the album before even reading it // Chchcheckit (talk) 16:24, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

16px Reviewer needed for the article and ALT1.--Launchballer 16:29, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
