 * General
 * Some problematic links
 * You use "opine" far too much in this article!


 * Info box
 * Legal names for the writers, but for producers their stage name is okay.
 * The picture shouldn't have the Parental Advisory sticker on it. So you will have to find another version of cover.


 * Lead
 * Which two members of Arcade Fire?
 * List years for both The New Classic and Reclassified, not just the latter.
 * An initial live → "initial" isn't needed
 * Though it was → However, it was
 * A pop rap, trap → A pop rap and trap
 * percolating, booming stark beat and solicits a sinuous, minimalist feel. → Are these your own words? They sound like they are being quoted, in which case they need quotation marks.
 * Is there an article that "pussy power" can be linked to?
 * I'd say top 30 hit as it peaked at 27.
 * US → U.S.
 * poor timing → I don't think this is the correct phrasing. Perhaps "Scheduling conflicts"?
 * Azalea and MØ's first live performance of "Beg for It", on Saturday Night Live was panned by many critics, → Their first live performance of the song on Saturday Night Live was panned by many critics
 * "one of the most cringe-worthy live moments in recent history". → Full stop inside the quote
 * absent from all Azalea's → absent from all of Azalea's
 * The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and at the 41st People's Choice Awards and 2014 American Music Awards. → The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the 41st People's Choice Awards and the 2014 American Music Awards.
 * Why is there no mention of the music video in this paragraph.
 * I'd mentioned that a lyric video was released instead of a music video.


 * Background
 * were responsible for its recording. → Not guilty of something, so I'd omit "responsible"
 * Azalea initially previewed → Again, "initially" doesn't serve any purpose


 * Composition
 * Beg for It" is a pop rap,[19] trap song.[20] → Beg for It" is a pop rap and trap music song.[19][20]
 * Again, are those descriptions lifted from the reviews? They sound like you're quoting them without using quotation marks.
 * So does this song contain an official interpolation of "Hypnotise"?


 * Critical reception
 * This section is a bit WP:QUOTEFARM. There needs to be some paraphrasing into your own words in this section.


 * Commercial performance
 * Section is slightly U.S. centric.
 * You could definitely write a lot more for Canada and its charting on three charts, Belgium, Australia and the UK.


 * Live performances
 * The block quote for the SNL subsection need not have quotation marks because it is already indented, indicating that it is a quote.


 * Music video
 * Again, no need for a one sentence paragraph. Just make it one paragraph.


 * Credits and personnel
 * All of these are already linked in the Background section, so this is WP:OVERLINK

Quite a lot to do, on hold for 7 days. I have over 2,300 articles in my watch list so ping me when you need me. — ₳aron  15:34, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Outcome
 * No response for 8 days. As per the guideline at Good Articles, I've given it over a week. I'm sorry but I'm failing as a result. Nominator has been inactive for some time prior to me starting review. I'm sure that if you nominate again, providing you have done what I suggest above, that it will be passed straight away. —  ₳aron  18:12, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
