  • Onegreatjoke As the writer of the article, I would say the fact that it was a folk song that got transformed into a dance one is way more interesting than what you currently have, which to me isn't that interesting. I'd highly suggest you change it to that. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 20:53, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
So "ALT1: ... that the song "Let's Dance" was changed from being a folk song to a dance one?" Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:08, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
"ALT1b: ... that David Bowie's song "Let's Dance" originally began as a folk song?" Is more on the right track. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 23:32, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.
Overall: Approving ALT1b. The article looks great and was promoted recently enough. I struck ALT0 because it's kind of a normal fact and not very interesting or unexpected. (I also bolded the other hooks for formatting). There are probably other hooks that could be pulled from the article but I think ALT1b is interesting enough. For the record, it is cited to this source in the article.[1] BuySomeApples (talk) 07:32, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
