 * Symbol voting keep.svg There is a band and song named "Sexy Zone". Okay. The article is new enough, long enough, and sourced enough. The hook fact is supported by a citation, assuming good faith on the Japanese language source. QPQ is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:42, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg The article mentions a figure of both 14.2 years and 14.4 years. Which is correct? The hook fact also needs an inline cite right after the sentence in which it appears. Yoninah (talk) 15:25, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * 14.2 years when they were announced, 14.4 years when they charted. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:14, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * On September 29 they were 14.2 years and on November 11 they were 14.4 years? I don't understand the math. And what about the inline cite? Yoninah (talk) 21:54, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The group's average age at the time of its announcement was 14.2 years. Two months later, it was 14.4, when they charted. These are the numbers given in the citations. The math looks fine to me.
 * For the inline citation concern, I rewrote the passage to read as a single sentence: "Sexy Zone became the youngest music act to top the chart with an average age of 14.4 years, surpassing the record of 14.6 years previously held by Yuma Nakayama w/B.I.Shadow when its single "Akuma na Koi" / "NYC" ranked number one in 2009." ℯ xplicit 02:06, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the cite. An increase of two-tenths of a year in a two-month period would work if there were only 10 months in a year. But there are 12 months, in which case a two-month change is one-sixth of a year, or .16. Yoninah (talk) 02:33, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm under the assumption that one or both numbers were rounded up to the nearest tenth. So, for example, if the group was announced when its age averaged 14.19 years and 14.35 when it charted, it was simply rounded up to 14.2 and 14.4, respectively. An average age of 14.24 and 14.40 would still yield 14.2 and 14.4. It is likely somewhere within that range, as all references I went through used the averages 14.2 and 14.4 across the board. ℯ xplicit 04:12, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg OK, I see that. Restoring tick per Muboshgu's review. Yoninah (talk) 16:41, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
