• ... that Brown Meggs created the marketing slogan "The Beatles are coming!", printed on thousands of stickers? Oxford blog says, "Capitol Records’ Brown Meggs... lobbied New York disc jockeys and plastered the city with signs that showed four reddish-brown mop-top haircuts with the tag 'The Beatles Are Coming.'" The website Fab 4 Collectibles says, "The catchphrase, which was the idea of Brown Meggs..."
  • ALT1:... that Paul McCartney named a puppy after Brown Meggs who signed the Beatles to Capitol Records? Daily News wrote, "In fact, McCartney once named one of his dogs Brown Meggs..." Peter Asher wrote, "Then there was also one puppy apparently called Brown Meggs..." The New York Times said, "Most notably, he signed the Beatles to the label for American distribution in 1963."

• Interesting article. It is new enough, long enough, well written, and makes proper use of citations. The hooks are interesting and short enough. Hook alt 1 is accurate, supported by in-line citation, and good to go. Hook alt 0, however, is being stricken because (a) the first source doesn't say he "created" the slogan, and (b) "Fab 4 Collectibles" (an individual in NYC who sells memorabilia here) is questionable as a reliable encyclopedic source. QPQ is complete. Cbl62 (talk) 14:02, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
• Comment: I was reviewing this but apparently I forgot to sign it, so when I pressed publish changes apparently I was beat to it, so I’ll just say I fixed reference 42. Trillfendi (talk) 14:06, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
