Created by MaranoFan (talk). Self-nominated at 17:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Bad Idea Right?; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• It looks fine to me, although if the song title is styled in all lowercase, this should be reflected in the article formatting. LonelyBoy2012 (talk) 02:53, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review, LonelyBoy2012. You will need to use the Subst:DYKtick template to approve the nomination. The stylization is not used throughout the article in compliance with MOS:SMALLCAPS. Regards.--NØ 11:16, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

• LonelyBoy2012, it isn't clear that you've completed a full review against the DYK criteria. Can you confirm you've checked the article in full, please? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:47, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

I'll review this one since LonelyBoy has not edited since the 8th:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, neutral and plagiarism-free. Both hooks are cited and interesting, though I wonder if any more alts could be provided given the song's been released now. Right now, I personally prefer ALT1 since it might appeal more to non-Livvies (or Rodrighoes or whatnot). QPQ has been done. Great work! Pamzeis (talk) 14:50, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey Bruxton, not necessarily requesting you to use this in one of your prep sets but I just wanted to understand if this is being intentionally spaced out from other DYKs from this album or if there's something wrong with the hooks.--NØ 23:08, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Not Bruxton MaranoFan, but as a promoter I just didn't find the hooks very interesting. The first doesn't really mean much to a wider audience, while the second links the song to two artists I'm vaguely aware of and says what the song is about—pretty meh. Eventually someone will pick it up, though. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:56, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

That's what I feared so I'll leave two more hooks here and, hopefully, eventually a promotor will at least like one of them.

• • ALT2: ... that Olivia Rodrigo's "Bad Idea Right?" music video features appearances by actresses Iris Apatow, Madison Hu, and Tate McRae, whom she described as her "favorite girlz"? Source: Billboard
  • ALT3: ... that "Bad Idea Right?" was Olivia Rodrigo's second song of 2023 to be declared "Best New Track" by Pitchfork after "Vampire"? Source: Pitchfork, Pitchfork

• • • ALT3's not very interesting to non-music... people IMO, but ALT2's fine. I do think it could be a bit shorter tho, i.e:
      • ... that "Bad Idea Right?" music video features appearances by Olivia Rodrigo's "favorite girlz"?
    • But I'll leave that up to someone else. Pamzeis (talk) 05:40, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
