Overall: Really interesting little biography! The approval is for the main nhook -- although the second hook checks out, I think it works only really well for a niche audience that's familiar with the names involved already, while the main hook is very grabbable to me. (Both check out). One note for any promoters, that an Earwig check did flag some somewhat high numbers approaching 10%, but that's just because of album and song titles being flagged and it passes a copyvio test too.

I checked out ALTO and Earwig and see that it is ready for promotion. Just did not want to put it in the open prep because there is already a music related hook there. Bruxton (talk) 17:29, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
