• Hook is interesting and true,

I made a small copy edit but beyond that the content is fine, earwig has less then 10% overlap. QPQ not need congrats on your first DYK! Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

@OlifanofmrTennant: Thanks! But it seems the DYK template not working well? ときさき くるみ ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 18:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Tokisaki Kurumi, OlifanofmrTennant, and Crisco 1492: Pulled per WT:DYK on WP:DYKFICTION grounds; as neither ALT0 or ALT2 meet WP:DYKINT (something's going to be slowest and there's no way that it's unusual for a music video to score that many views), new hook needed.--Launchballer 15:19, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

• Not sure I agree with DYKFICTION in this instance, as it specifies that this was for her tenth anniversary, but alright.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:26, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Well, I really didn't realize that 1 million wasn't that noteworthy, so how about something similar to "its music video was the fastest original Vocaloid music video to reach a million views on Niconico at the time"? Or something related to the fact that the author has a personal feeling about Niconico, such as "feeling the desert-like atmosphere of Niconico and it's so much different from before, so he composed this song"? (Note these hooks are not polished yet) ときさき くるみ ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 19:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

I added ALT3 and ALT4 (With the ALT2 mod, I think the BPM is actually an interesting point, since other music tends to have 180BPM to 200BPM then) according to the community reponses. @DYK admins: I'm not familiar with the DYK process, can I trouble one of you to help review it (both content and process)? ときさき くるみ ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 18:31, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: for comment. TSventon (talk) 11:58, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

The speed hooks rely on knowing what BPM is. The problem with running a hook about the song's subject matter is that he could conceivably have written it about anything, which I would argue goes against the spirit of WP:DYKFICTION.--Launchballer 13:15, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

What about the other hook? ときさき くるみ ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 15:32, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

What other hook? I've assessed ALTs 2, 3, and 4.--Launchballer 15:49, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Oops, I thought those texts following were commenting on BPM. ときさき くるみ ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 17:28, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: I thought about it for a while, and then I did come up with another rather interesting (at least to me) hook again. Please check! ときさき くるみ ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 10:17, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:DYKINT, hooks need to be "likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest in the topic". What ALT5 ultimately boils down to is 'guy sings own song', which is uneventful.--Launchballer 15:23, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

• This was pulled from prep by Launchballer, but not retranscluded nor the initial tick superseded, so I'm doing both of those things. Where does this nomination stand at the moment? BlueMoonset (talk) 22:22, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

This needs a new hook.--Launchballer 02:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
