Overall: 
@Launchballer: Article could be good for DYK, but needs a little work. I could do with "Roddy St. James" being enclosed in commas. Also, is there any way that you could include that this hook fact was according to Healy? Per D5, I will have to put this on hold as there is a current AfD. Concerns have been raised in the AfD about the article's neutrality: could you tell me if these concerns have been fixed? QPQ is also needed. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 17:49, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- Most of the neutrality concerns were made by aggrieved Redditors unhappy that I've accurately reported what reliable sources have said; once you discount the WP:SPA votes, there is currently a 7-0 consensus to keep. As for the hook, I feel that attributing it to Healy neuters it somewhat, so instead I suggest the following:
- ALT1: ... that Matty Healy is banned from Dubai?--Launchballer 07:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: it's a compromise, but I'd be happy to approve that as a quirky hook once the AfD boils over. Just be sure to do the QPQ. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 07:18, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
- Looking at that Reddit post sure is... interesting. I'm happy that none of the articles I've written have attracted the attention of a
angry mobdedicated fanbase. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 07:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
