  • ... that drummer Robert Searight co-founded the gospel choir God's Property? Source: "A self-contained urban gospel choir and band, God's Property was founded in 1992 in Dallas, Texas by Linda Ray Hall-Searight who, along with her son Robert Sput Searight, assembled the original musicians and singers and groomed them into a powerful, professional performing ensemble."

  • The currently proposed hook is kinda... eh? I mean, if you're unfamiliar with his band or the choir it won't really catch your attention. Perhaps a hook about something else can be proposed here? As an aside, I think the article should be moved to simply Robert Searight since I don't think we usually include nicknames with quotes in article titles.

ALT1 ... that Robert Searight played with Snarky Puppy and Snoop Dogg? Source: "including seven years as the touring drummer for Snoop Dogg" + "Snarky Puppy is Searight’s current home" source link
The word 'played' can be changed to 'performed' or 'collaborated'. Or other versions like: "... Sput played with Puppy and Dogg?" or "... a Snarky Puppy played with a Snoop Dogg?" I moved the page per your suggestion. Bammesk (talk) 00:53, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article meets DYK requirements (new and long enough). It's also free from close paraphrasing. The hook is cited inline and verified in the source. I'm not really a fan of the original hook or ALT1, but I think your proposal
Alt2 "... Sput played with Puppy and Dogg?"
(which for the purposes of this review I'm labeling as ALT2) might work as a quirky hook. I'm not really sure if it's wording would fall under guidelines so I'd like to ask for a second opinion on if the wording is suitable or not. For the record, I'm striking the original hook, ALT1, and the other proposal (it falls under WP:EGG), so only ALT2 is under consideration for now.
