She & Him discography[edit]
... that holiday albums released by the musical duo She & Him account for 40 percent of their discography?(Source: Section 1, last line)
5x expanded by Damian Vo (talk). Self-nominated at 09:25, 9 August 2017 (UTC).
- Comment: Made a minor grammatical correction to the hook ("accounting" to "account"). --Usernameunique (talk) 21:48, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! Damian Vo (talk) 11:16, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
New article (former redirect), long enough, sourced, cited, no copyvios seen. First DYK, so no QPQ needed. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:41, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Pulled from prep for further work. As noted there, based on the discography given in the article, Christmas music is not more than a third of the albums or singles, so 40 percent is not reflected in the article itself, and the source refers to 40% of "total output", which may or may not be total sales, but in any event doesn't work with the original "total discography" hook, which has been struck. A new hook will be needed that accurately reflects both article and source(s), and if it's about Christmas music, do use "Christmas" in the hook. Thanks.

Since I'm having a little problem rewriting the hook, I'd like to withdraw this nomination.Special thanks to Usernameunique for your help and support on this. Damian Vo (talk) 12:09, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Don't give up just yet Damian Vo, the article itself is set, it just needs a hook. Here's another idea:
ALT1: ... that She & Him charted four consecutive #1 US folk albums?- ALT2: ... that with Classics in 2014, the musical duo She & Him charted their fourth consecutive number-one album on the Billboard Folk Albums?
- I rewrote the ALT1. Damian Vo (talk) 13:22, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Reviewer needed to give ALT1 ALT2 a check. --Usernameunique (talk) 12:29, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Damian Vo I'm restoring ALT1, and adding yours as ALT2. In the future, unless it is to make a minor change, please add extra proposals as additional alternates rather than rewrites. For example, I changed your proposal to add "that" at the beginning, and to remove the parenthetical, both of which are minor edits and bring the hook within DYK convention. Were I to make major edits, I would propose them separately.
- With that said, I'm approving ALT2 (which checks out) and striking ALT1 (since I proposed it, I can't approve it). Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 00:05, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
