  • ... that the heavy metal musician Leah has sometimes been called "the metal Enya"?

  •   The article is new enough and long enough. Nothing concerning on Earwig's copyvio detector. The hook is interesting and cited in the article; the source (Allmusic) seems adequate for what it's supporting. QPQ is done. However, the article is currently tagged for overreliance on primary sources - this will need to be resolved before the nomination can continue. I have additional concerns about whether some of the sources used are reliable enough for a BLP, e.g. what makes hardrockhaven.net and soniccathedral.com reliable sources? Citing a statement about her political beliefs to an archive of a now defunct blog seems problematic from a BLP standpoint as well. Needs attention to sourcing before it is promoted to DYK.

  •   Thanks for the edits. I'm still unsure about the use of primary sources - quite a lot of the article seems to be based on Q&A interviews like this [8] which don't have any real secondary analysis, and some sources, like this still seem questionable to me. I do realize it's sort of a niche topic and we can't expect a cover story in the New York Times... if it's alright I'd like to relist this for a second opinion by someone more familiar with sourcing expectations in this area.

Having worked on similar articles in the past and used similar kinds of sources, I'm willing to assume good faith about the reliability of the interviews and such as long as other kinds of independent coverage exist. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:33, 7 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.
Overall:   After re-reviewing this nom, I'm gonna approve. It looks like the contentious blog sources have been removed, and the primary sources are fine since they're only supporting personal information. The singer's childhood and ancestry isn't likely to be super contentious (unless a shocking expose that she doesn't really have British ancestry). After these changes, the article still meets length and sourcing requirements (no copyvio came up in earwig either). The source provided for the hook is reliable, and qpq has been done.
