date fine, length just enough, I found the hook interesting! But can I understand a bit about that song? the music? the title? - A list of other songs in the session, very general reviews, - somehow that wasn't what I wanted to know, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:27, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Like Gerda, I find the article thin on content. I want to know something about the song beyond what's in the article -- information that I would characterize as "data", not the kind of soft information that I normally find in song articles.
As for the hooks, the first hook is interesting. The second one is too obscure -- too dependent on obscure slang. I think, however, that the first hook may have "too much information." I find it interesting that he recorded this song many times (according to this source that is not cited in the article), including in his last recording session before his disappearance. I don't think the detail about that session being at Abbey Road Studios adds value to the hook -- particularly since the article has no other information about that recording session. --Orlady (talk) 01:20, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
I've made a few revisions to the page since this nomination and review. However, from reading more and more sources, it seems that determining what exactly constitutes a recording session is debatable. Whereas one session may end with the recordings being put onto record for distribution, another may just be for radio broadcast. I get the impression that Miller recorded a few times after Abbey Road (around the country, particularly when he was in Bedford before his disappearance) which may well constitute a "recording session" depending on the definition. For this reason, and for the fact that there are some contradictory sources, I feel it's probably best to withdraw this nomination rather than risk putting dubious, debatable or ambiguous information on the MP. matt (talk) 07:12, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
