Article nominated within 24 hours of creation, so clearly new enough. Article is more than twice long enough. Article written in neutral manner. Inline citations are used throughout the article, and each paragraph contains several. Earwig's tool and my own searches turned up no copying, close paraphrasing, or other copyvio issues. Both hooks meet formatting requirements. I believe the content is interesting to a broad audience as it has "beating the big boys at their own game" appeal. Hook 1 is directly cited and the article matches the proposed hook. The problem with the first hook is that it is confusing, because it could be interpreted to mean "Jolly Roger owned bootlegs, and these bootlegs were of recordings made by RCA and originally manufactured at RCA's pressing plant, but who knows where the bootlegs themselves were pressed" which would hardly be exceptional. Re-wording needed. Hook 2 is a bit more problematic, because the article does not state exactly when Bolletino issued Armstrong's recordings on Jolly Roger. I'm sure that could easily be addressed. Of the two hooks, I prefer the intent of the first, because I'm a record nerd. (in the 1940s, Blue Ace did exactly the same thing to Columbia.) Hooks are written in a neutral manner. This appears to be nominator's 4th DYK, so QPQ does not apply. One more freebie! No image to check against. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 22:00, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
- For Hook1, I think that would just need the slight tweak of ALT2 ... that Jolly Roger Records had its bootlegs of RCA Records recordings manufactured at RCA's own vinyl record pressing plant? Chubbles (talk) 22:59, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
That fixes the issue. ALT2 is directly stated in the article, and supported by inline citation, offline source AGF. This article is ready for and deserving of mainspace exposure. If fact, as a record collector I hereby proclaim, in all my vast authority, that it should be required reading. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 03:55, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
