  • Article seems more than ready for DYK, but the hook prbably shouldn't be passing off Glaive's own opinion as fact. I would simply work the quote ("It was so good that he had to change his verse...") into the hook. Let me know when that's done! Cheers, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 17:02, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
    • @Kingoflettuce: How does it look now? Sorry it took a few days.
      • @Kingoflettuce: ?
        • Hey there, real sorry I missed the ping somehow. All looks good now (modified the hook slightly) in terms of length and newness (improvement to GA) at the time of nomination, hookiness, well-citedness. QPQ done. Cheers! KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 07:17, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
@Locust member: As Kingoflettuce has not edited since 5 March (and this page since 24 February), I'm taking this over. Unfortunately, not only would the hook require an end-of-sentence citation, but it still isn't attributed fully enough and I'd question its interestingness. I recommend moving away from that hook fact. What else do you have?--Launchballer 23:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
  • @Locust member and Launchballer: I can really only find two interesting things in the article, and the first is not really even about More than Life itself:
ALT1 ... that a review of Machine Gun Kelly's song "More than Life" described him as "pop-punk's Megan Fox-dating, award-winning, record-breaking clown prince"?
ALT2 ... that the music video for Machine Gun Kelly's song "More than Life" features him covered in cement?
I'm not sure about the interestingness of the first, and I imagine the second could fall afoul of the DYKFICTION police. Other than those, there isn't anything else seemingly suitable in the article. Thoughts? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:13, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Hmm. I really only submitted this DYK to state that glaive's verse was so good MGK had to change his. But since the original reviewer said we shouldn’t take glaive's opinion as fact and it doesn't work with it in quotations per Launchballer, I don't think the article has anything else interesting to include.

I don't see a path forward for this nomination without an interesting hook.--Launchballer 17:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
