Rhian Teasdale
... that before finding fame as half of Wet Leg, Rhian Teasdale had released six songs under the name RHAIN?
Created by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 08:26, 3 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Rhian Teasdale; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Hi! Are you missing a source for your hook? :) --TheLonelyPather (talk) 19:56, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
- Don't need one, per WP:CALC; five singles and an EP with one new track, all of which are cited in the main body.--Launchballer 13:37, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Not a review but a comment, but isn't this a rather pedestrian hook? I don't really see what's so hooky about one half of a duo having released solo songs under another name, that seems common and not intriguing. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:19, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah I think that's a lot better, though it might be better to say that Wet Leg is a duo. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:36, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
QPQ needs to be provided within 7 days of nominating. This was nominated 18 days ago. I suggest we close this unless a QPQ turns up forthwith. Schwede66 19:54, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Overall: Earwig checks out; it picks up a few bits and pieces, but they have all been accounted for in quotation marks. My biggest concern for the article is that some of the references are questionable (e.g., Spotify), and the article needs some rewriting for grammar and style. The new alt doesn't appeal to me, personally, but it appears to appeal to others. Significa liberdade (talk) 01:52, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I've replaced Spotify with ASCAP, although it can probably come out if necessary. I assume you're referring to the local papers, which all purport to have teams of writers or are interviews.--Launchballer 09:51, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- A ping to Significa liberdade :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 23:27, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the pink, theleekycauldron! I have re-reviewed the article, and I think the issues brought up before have been addressed. I will recommend the article for DYK. I'm not exactly sure how to do that, but I put the checkmark next to ALT1. Significa liberdade (talk) 01:37, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Significa liberdade! It goes in your latest comment (for the bot), I've moved it there :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:35, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
@Launchballer and Significa liberdade: was going to promote this to Prep 6, but I'm uneasy that this BLP is unduly weighted towards Richards' accusations in the personal life section. At around 340 words, it's nearly half of the article body, and much of the second paragraph seems to have much more to do with Wet Leg than Teasdale specifically. Essentially, I'm citing
WP:BLPBALANCE and querying whether the biography of a very talented woman needs to focus so much on the accusations of an ex.

- I think the problem with the article is that the rest of it isn't big enough. (When writing about band members who I'm not convinced are actually notable, I go short on band stuff on the grounds that a) the band article should cover it already, and b) in my mind it helps ram home notability.) I'll do some more work in the morning.--Launchballer 23:48, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
- AirshipJungleman29: How's it looking now?--Launchballer 11:09, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- Much better Launchballer. However, I've just noticed the "she released several songs before that under the name RHAIN" is not cited in the lead or mentioned in the body. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:15, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
- Added "and signed her as Rhain" - pretty sure "several songs" comes under WP:CALC, since I mention four of them.--Launchballer 11:18, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
This is still in need of a full review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:18, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
