I'll post a review for this in the next day or two. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 16:41, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
BennyOnTheLoose, the article mostly looks good. The one issue that stands out is WP:OVERQUOTING, which happens enough that there wasn't enough encyclopedic text under "themes and reception" for me to fully evaluate criterion one. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:43, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
as openly about Costello's love for O'Riordan
and that the narrator was clearly genuine about this
songs that were more affecting than Costello's other output
I was unable to closely review "Themes and reception" because there's little original prose, mentioned below in criterion two.
and one of only three "three songs of relational celebration"– three three
The song contains an obscure reference– Obscure according to whom?
"Crimes of Paris" was a song on Costello's next studio album, Blood & Chocolate (1985)– Wasn't Blood & Chocolate the previous album?
All sources appear reliable. The article suffers from WP:OVERQUOTING, which is a common problem in music articles. Given how short this article is, the quotes make nearly half of it a copy-paste construction. It's generally better to paraphrase rather than quote unless there's a good reason not to.
Spot checks:
Covers all of the main aspects. It's on the shorter side, but about what can be expected for a non-single song.
No ideas are given undue weight.
No recent disputes, no major updates are expected.
