Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page.

No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Article is new enough and long enough; well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free. Objections were raised against ALT1 by Narutolovehinata5, leaving ALT0. I'm not a big fan of ALT0, so I added ALT2. I can't approve my own hook, so I'm asking for a second opinion. I think there's also opportunities for new hooks if nobody likes ALT0 or ALT2. ALT1 struck. Viriditas (talk) 03:21, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Owing to a discussion at WT:DYK regarding the interestingness of the promoted hook (ALT2), I've gone ahead and pulled this hook from prep. The following hooks were also proposed in the discussion:
Normally I would have just swapped it out with one of the above, but I have reservations about either hook meeting WP:DYKHOOKBLP, so I brought the nom back to unapproved for more discussion. Another alternative hook about the song reaching Silver in the UK was also proposed but I have not included it here as it probably does not meet WP:DYKINT.
A possible third option could be a reworded version of ALT2 that largely keeps the wording but specifies who Antonoff and Qualley are, for the benefit of readers unfamiliar with them. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:01, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The lowest common denominator here is simple human emotion, even if you don't know who the actress is, and there is mystery as well – was the song written for or about her and by whom, or was there another reason she cried? Cielquiparle (talk) 04:49, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In the interest of this moving forward I'll be checking ALT0b. It's cited inline and verified in the Today.com source. Assuming there are no further issues, then I am approving ALT0b as the most interesting and BLP compliant hook. The rest of the review is per Viriditas.
