Overall: @MaranoFan: Good article. However, i'm not really seeing where in the source it states that trainor refused the name the subject of her song. Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:44, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Onegreatjoke, thank you so much for reviewing. I've hopefully made the first hook less controversial and also added another one.--N Ø 21:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't think that "literal" is necessary for alt2 but i'll still approve regardless. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:29, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

@MaranoFan: why the image slot specifically for this one? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:10, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, as you know, I really want the slot for any of my nominations. With this one, I framed the hooks with your suggestion in mind. ALT2 talks about Trainor's songwriting, which I think people might be able to visualize better if accompanied by a picture. The other two hooks also talk about Trainor engaged in certain activities. Unless I'm still getting it wrong, in which case I would request you to help me find a hook for which the image slot would make sense. Regards.--N Ø 05:44, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

@MaranoFan: my apologies if I wasn't clear – I generally don't like hooks in the lead slot that divert views to a side link, away from the bolded article. If Trainor is both pictured and linked in the hook, she'll divert views away from "Bad for Me", which is something I generally try to avoid. The other reason, specifically for works in particular, is that there's nothing overly special about this image for this specific nomination. If I put this image in the image slot for this hook, there's no reason I shouldn't do it for the next four Meghan Trainor songs that come through DYK, and that's not a road I want to go down. If you'd like to get an image slot, I suggest getting an artist to DYK, rather than a work. Copyrighted works are generally pretty hard to picture. That said, someone might promote this with an image anyway, but I'm not really inclined to myself. Sorry for the misunderstanding! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 05:04, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

That's totally fine and I'll hold out hope that another promoter will promote this DYK with the image. Cheers!--N Ø 05:24, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
