@KunalAggarwal95: Not a review, but the hook is nonsensical, and the Times of India is yellow on WP:RSP.--Laun chba ller 16:02, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a deprecated source. KunalAggarwal95 (talk) 16:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter that it isn't deprecated. It matters that its reliability has been questioned, and I'm looking for a strong rationale as to why it is being used.--Laun chba ller 22:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

as no other sources provide information. KunalAggarwal95 (talk) 06:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll let a reviewer adjudicate on it then. My gut says that it isn't strong enough for the claims it's making. You do still need a grammatically correct hook.--Laun chba ller 19:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New hook: ALT1 ... that the 2005 Hindi-language song "Dus Bahane" wasn't supposed to be shot, but was shot in 10 hours and became the most played song of 2005?— Preceding unsigned comment added by KunalAggarwal95 (talk • contribs)

Better, although MOS:CONTRACTIONS forbids words like 'wasn't', and I'd also trim it at 'shot' per WP:DYKTRIM, like so: ALT1a: ... that the 2005 Hindi-language song "Dus Bahane" was not supposed to be shot?. I note that the source says 'shot' as well, so AGF that this is acceptable in Indian English and call for another reviewer.--Laun chba ller 07:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@KunalAggarwal95: Was going to review this as this is the oldest fully unreviewed nom, however the first thing that hits me is the fact that there are two inline cleanup tags in the article, and these need to be remedied before this can go anywhere. Also, how long are you willing to wait for this? ALT2: ... that Dus Bahane was not supposed to be shot? would make an excellent April Fool's hook.--Laun chba ller 09:26, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator hasn't edited in over two weeks. If there is no movement on this in a week I'm closing this.--Laun chba ller 11:23, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: Removed the tags. KunalAggarwal95 (talk) 14:53, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I no longer need a QPQ, so let's see if anyone else wants this before I next need one.--Laun chba ller 06:29, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Long enough, new enough. QPQ unnecessary and technically copyvio-free, although if I was feeling mean I'd slap {{overquotation}} on the article. This does need a fairly robust copyedit, which I will do probably tomorrow. In addition, if my reading of the sources is correct, then I believe that Khan was referring to the song's corresponding dance number for the film and that the song itself was recorded anyway, which means that all hooks on this page are inaccurate.--Laun chba ller 12:44, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
