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: Both hooks are interesting, although I personally prefer the 1st one. The article was created in time and is long enough, Earwig's Copyvio Detector showed a low enough percentage, both hooks are mentioned and sourced in the article. However, it feels a bit weird that 100 gecs isn't properly mentioned in the first hook considering that it's their song. Could you reword it so that there's a mention of the band as a whole? Thanks for creating the article btw. mike•owen ^discuss 19:54, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MikeOwen: How about ALT0a:... that 100 gecs producer Dylan Bradly teased three separate songs with rapper Rico Nasty before releasing their first collaboration "Ringtone (Remix)"? Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 13:00, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nice4What: Looks good! Passing it now. Have a great weekend! mike•owen ^discuss 13:11, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, you too. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Don't forget to share a Thanks ♥) 13:13, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote ALT0a. In the article, I only see one song being teased by Rico Nasty, and Brady is only mentioned in connection with that song. Yoninah (talk) 14:40, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: If you are to pick ALT0a over ALT1... under the "Release and promotion" subsection: To provoke fans, Brady teased on Twitter that he had a third collaboration with Nasty on the way, after Nasty previously teased the song "iPhone" in November 2019.

@Nice4What: Well, I prefer ALT1, but I thought you wanted ALT0a. Yoninah (talk) 14:54, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: No, I prefer ALT1 as well. Definitely more interesting. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ♥) 14:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks. Restoring tick per MikeOwen's review. Yoninah (talk) 15:01, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why isn't this article for all versions of Ringtone?

If it is, we should change its name to something that reflects that. Remixes rarely get their own articles and it'll keep it a stub if it remains that way. Just make the article for everything related to Ringtone. Mrmoustache14 (talk) 04:54, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's a strange case where the remix is notable but the original isn't quite. The only other case I can think of like this is I Took a Pill in Ibiza, and that article is confusingly more about the original than the actually notable remix of it. casualdejekyll 00:41, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
