Willow (song)

Created by Saiff Naqiuddin (talk), BawinV (talk), Ashleyyoursmile (talk), Doggy54321 (talk), and BillieLiz (talk). Nominated by Shuipzv3 (talk) at 12:52, 18 December 2020 (UTC).


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - ?
  • Other problems: No - This is definitely not the most interesting fact about the music video. I've suggested a couple below, all from the same Rolling Stone source.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Great to see the speed of the creation/expansion and the number of editors collaborating on this! Pick a hook from below or counter-suggest and this'll be good to go. — Bilorv (talk) 00:16, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

  • ALT1: ... that the music video for Taylor Swift's single "Willow" avoids showing some dancers' faces because they were wearing masks as a COVID-19 precaution?
  • ALT2: ... that the music video for Taylor Swift's single "Willow" only used 10 dancers due to COVID-19 restrictions, but more were added with visual effects? (fact not currently mentioned in article)
  • ALT3: ... that the music video for Taylor Swift's single "Willow" featured orbs rather than bonfires due to the 2020 California wildfires?

@Shuipzv3: Would you pick one of the alternative hooks? Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 11:39, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

@Hanif Al Husaini: I had considered 1 and 2 but decided not to because I was trying to avoid mentioning a negative event like the pandemic. Maybe it's just my bias because the pandemic certainly has resulted in a lot of negative impacts for me. I didn't consider 3 but I'm also iffy about it for the same negative event reason. However, I would go for 1. Shuipzv3 (talk) 11:14, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
@Bilorv: Shuipzv3 has picked a hook, would you approve this? Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 11:35, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
Alright, ALT1 approved, thanks to all for their work on this. Sorry to hear about your personal circumstances, Shuipzv3. — Bilorv (talk) 15:36, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
Ugh, I always forget this—we need an uninvolved reviewer to verify this hook because I suggested it. Apologies for the confusion. We just need someone to check that ALT1 is accurate, mentioned in the article and cited inline. — Bilorv (talk) 15:44, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
ALT1 looks good to me. Corachow (talk) 09:08, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
