... that Bini's "Blink Twice" music video garnered one million views in just 12 hours?

I'll take on this review soon, but I just wanted to throw out some preliminary issues that I see before I begin a "proper" review: (1) Do you have a quid pro quo review ready? I see that you require one, but you haven't provided one in your nomination. (2) This hook doesn't strike me as particularly interesting, given that one million views in half a day on YouTube isn't exactly a high bar for an established artist. Do you have an alternative in mind? (3) There appears to be a lot more songwriters in the infobox than listed in the 'Credits and personnel' section. Is this intentional?

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

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
Other problems: - Per WP:DYKCOMPLETE, a page is expected to be "reasonably complete" before it can appear on the homepage. I can't help but notice the lack of a 'Critical reception' section, however, which is integral on any song articles.

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting: - I've already mentioned this in my pre-review above, but a song receiving one million views in half a day on YouTube isn't exactly a feat for an established group. Point in case, looking at the article for "Cherry on Top", the group received two million views on that video in its first day, which averages out to one million in its first 12 hours. Another hook is needed.

QPQ: - Please get this done ASAP. According to WP:QPQ, a nomination like this can be closed as "incomplete" without warning without a nomination; however, I'll be generous and give you a day or two to get one in.
Overall: Here is my full review. Earwig gives 26.5% similarity due to a direct quote, so it's fine. Sourcing checks out throughout the article, though I once again ask you to give a double-check to the Songwriters in the infobox. The article also has a fairly neutral tone throughout. A QPQ is needed, but as mentioned I'll give this nom a day or two to add one in. In terms of the article's prose, my primary issue is that there doesn't appear to be a 'Critical reception' section, something which should most definitely be in a song article like this one; is there any chance that you could cobble one together? I'm also not a fan of the hook, given that it doesn't strike me as being particularly interesting; do you have any other hooks in mind? Leafy46 (talk) 17:22, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to reject this nomination on the grounds that it has been a bit over three days now with no movement on this nomination; I would normally give closer to a week before outright rejecting it like this, but because the QPQ has still not been completed and the nominator seems to have been mostly inactive (i.e. having made no progress towards getting a QPQ or, indeed, addressing any part of this review), I hope that my rationale here for the rejection is reasonable.
