... that Bikini Kill, the Go-Go's, Paramore, Sleater-Kinney, and Talking Heads are some of many artists that the Linda Lindas have recorded covers of?

- I will not be reviewing this nomination, but isn't covering songs a really common thing for a band to do, especially songs from famous bands? Bremps... 12:24, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Bremps: How about a different hook. ALT2: ... that the Linda Lindas, who are named after the song "Linda Linda", by the Blue Hearts, later covered the song? Source: named after, covered (another source) – The Sharpest Lives (💬•✏️•ℹ️) (ping me!) 01:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing:
- Opening paragraph contains multiple statements which are uncited anywhere in the article, e.g. the list of band members or the identity of their producer.
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |
---|
|
QPQ: None required. |
Overall: I reviewed all proposed hooks and only Alt2 would be acceptable at present. Alt1 would fail as the number of songs does not appear with a citation in the article, and I would in any case be worried they may release more songs before this is hook appears on the main page. The original hook fails as not all of these bands are mentioned as having been covered by the Linda Lindas.
Earwig did highlight some similarities and while we should be careful of this, in this case they appear to be incidental, e.g. they consist of common words or phrases which could not be easily avoided without the result reading oddly. I personally would not fail a review for this in this case, but it may be worth addressing in case the promoter feels differently.
I assume good faith on the non-English source provided for Alt2.
