- ALT0a: ... that David W. Music has taught, composed, conducted and written about music?
Approved: Article is new enough, long enough, well-cited, presentable, and with no policy issues detected. QPQ waived. Hook is formatted and of good length. Hook fact cited in article (will assume that when he "led" a Sacred Harp sing ["directed" in source] this is equivalent to "conducting"). This is roughly verifiable from the summary preview of the subscription-required online source. Hook is interesting. Could probably do an alternate about the nominative determinism, but for non-April Fools, I don't think it'd be any more interesting than ALT0 which is excellent. I put up ALT0a just so the promoter can see them side-by-side, I think the slight repetition of phrasing in ALT0 (while less concise) makes for a better hook. All good! – Reidgreg (talk) 02:03, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Not sure about the repetition, on first thought, I kinda like it. Lightburst (talk) 20:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
