Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
The article meets DYK requirements, I didn't find any close paraphrasing, and a QPQ has been done. However, I'm not a fan of the hook. It's very common for songs to be written specifically for films (if anything, it's usually the norm for most movie songs) and I don't see how special this particular case is compared to others. It also makes less sense to readers who are unfamiliar with either the artist or the film. Can you propose other suggestions here?

@
Koavf: I'll be honest, it's still not a great suggestion. Are there any other possibilities here that don't involve LCD Soundsystem recording for the first time in five years or that the song was made for/is used in that film? I do have an idea for a revised hook wording for ALT1 in mind but I'd like to hear first if you have any non-White Noise/non-"five years" suggestions.

@
Narutolovehinata5 and
Aria1561: Article is new enough, long enough, contains no close paraphrasing that I could detect and is neutrally written with opinions properly attributed. ALT3 is marginally better but still pretty vanilla. For brevity and flow, I would replace "making" with "recording" and would excise the song title.DigitalIceAge (

I see no benefit coming from removing the song title from the hook. Aside from that, I find ALT3 (after swapping "making" with "recording") to be sufficient for DYK. I personally find it interesting that a band would come back after a five-year break from recording new material to record a song specifically for a film soundtrack, and I'm sure many others will as well.

@
Aria1561: Excuse my brain fog please: Replacing "making" with "recording", that would result in a double 'record[ing]' in the hook, so ignore that suggestion of mine. I do think omitting the title puts further emphasis on how unusual the fact that a film score is what broke their hiatus is, and encourages the reader to click on and find out what the title of the song is. Just my 2¢.

@
Narutolovehinata5: This nomination has now been open for a month and has gone over two weeks without additional comments. Your ALT3 suggestion is sufficient and interesting enough for DYK. There is no need to drag this nom out any longer. I would appreciate it if you approved this hook for DYK.
