@Onel5969: thanks for reviewing. May I ask specifically how the sources or lead could be improved? Averageuntitleduser (talk) 11:06, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Sure. As far as the lead, it should be a brief summary of the article. Yours reads like it should be a paragraph in the history section. YouTube, Twitter, and commercial sites (e.g. Redbull) are not truly reliable sources. They can be used, but only in certain circumstances. Onel5969 TT me 11:42, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've tried to remove less important details from the lead. I am not the best at leads though, so if you think you could improve it, I would appreciate that.
- I think the sourcing is okay. Twitter and Instagram are used only as primary sources to verify Fraxiom and Gupi's pronouns. Apple Music is used only twice to verify release dates. This all seems to follow WP:PRIMARY. Red Bull is highlighted green per WP:VG/RS and Eli Enis has written for tons of music publications. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 16:43, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Overall: |
- Wikilink rave in both body and lead
- add a comma after their father (also, Gupi is Tony Hawk's child whaaa)
- Not done. The pause it creates might briefly make a reader question why we mentioned their father. Also, you're right, it's crazy! Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- add a comma after August 2017 (MOS:DATE)
- Not done. I think the original is grammatical, and the last entry in that table does not mention commas. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- her debut solo EP Music. - "her debut solo EP, Music."
- after that, I would say "She stated" instead of She said just feels more right to me. Also, place the period inside of the quotations in this case (MOS:INOROUT)
- for their debut solo album None - "for their debut solo album, None"
- add a comma after January 2020
- Not done, per above. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- hosted by 100 gecs in Minecraft - "hosted by 100 gecs in the 2011 video game Minecraft"
- Done, but dropped 2011. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- to promote his album Apple - "to promote his 2020 album, Apple"
- Not done. I think the release year is implied. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- add a period after "...actually supposed to do?" "
- Not done. I couldn't find this scenario discussed elsewhere online, but I don't think we treat question marks or exclamation marks differently from periods here. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Food House released their second album Two House independently - "Food House released their second album, Two House, independently..."
- Food House is described as a hyperpop duo. - by whom?
- Clarified. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- add a period after "This is a queer album!"
- Not done, per above. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- No images used in the article; but it seems there are no free images posted in commons or seen on flickr, google, or youtube
- Some back and forth between nom and another editor, but nothing that seems persistent
- Seems to be written neutrally; quotes are attributed and am not seeing anything veer from NPOV
- Covers the main parts of the duo using all viable information from the Internet
- Earwig is in the yellow, but it is mainly due to the large quote that is used. if it would be possible, try to lower some other quotes used by the source
- Good point. This is a tricky case where Moen's article is a premier source about Food House and where his description of it and Gupi's quote are relevant, but both would be jarring if given in wikivoice. Would you accept that? Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- No unreliable sources used
Spot-check Based on this revision
- [2]
The two met in August 2017 in Orlando, Florida, during a rave that Fraxiom performed for. By the end of the month, Gupi began their first semester at Berklee College of Music in Boston, closer to where Fraxiom lived. They spent more time together and became close friends. They did not initially collaborate on music; Gupi felt self-conscious about producing hyperpop around roommates. However, the two did DJ together at parties at MAGFest in Washington, D.C.
- [2] and [6]
Initially, Gupi sent a version of None without "Thos Moser" to Dylan Brady of 100 gecs, anticipating that he would release the album on his record label Dog Show Records, a subsidiary of Diplo's Mad Decent. Brady enjoyed the album, and later "Thos Moser", and agreed.
- [5]
The success of "Thos Moser" motivated Fraxiom and Gupi to create an album together, as did the COVID-19 pandemic.
- [10] and [11]
Pitchfork and KTLA retrospectively described it as a holy text within the genre.
- [5]
Food House was inspired by pop music by the Black Eyed Peas, Far East Movement, and Kesha that the duo considered fun and timeless, as well as later music by Drain Gang, PC Music, 100 gecs, and on SoundCloud. The album is sonically varied. Matt Moen of Paper compared it to "mainlining cringe comps and bass-boosted TikToks all while listening to every top 10 pop hit between the years of 2010 and 2013 at the same time." According to Moen, the lyrics contain a "staggering" amount of skits and pop culture references. In one track, Siri confirms that Ronald Reagan is still dead, and in another, Fraxiom discusses baby food before Gupi screams at her to "just sing real shit".
@Averageuntitleduser: Awesome job here! This article seems comprehensive and I am glad to say I know all about Food House now. Tag me once you got everything handled :-) (also, the Uber Eats thing would make a great DYK) Locust member (talk) 02:37, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Locust member: the review is appreciated! Replies above. I also thought the Uber Eats detail was funny, so expect to see it on the main page soon. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 04:35, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Looks good! Sorry I may have misunderstood some of the guidelines; regardless, will

Looks good. Nice work. No QPQ required as the nominator has under five nominations. @Averageuntitleduser: The original hook is fine, though, reading the article, this struck me as a potential option as well: ALT1 ... that music by Food House has been described as "3OH!3, SpongeBob SquarePants, Nicki Minaj, metal, and original Twitter put into a musical blender by the Joker"? Let me know if you like that or if we should just go with the original hook. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:30, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Thanks. I like both but slightly prefer the alt1 hook you suggested, which is more punchy. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 20:48, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- OK, given that I suggested it, I think we'll need another user to approve that one.
BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:50, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
Approve ALT1. That is an awful lot of blue links though, so would recommend removing the one for "Twitter". Cielquiparle (talk) 08:11, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
