Kill Bill (SZA song)

(

)

... that the Kill Bill films inspired SZA to write a song about murdering her ex-boyfriend? Source: Entertainment Weekly, NPR
- ALT1: ... that the Kill Bill films inspired SZA to write a song about jealously murdering an ex and his new girlfriend? Source: ibid
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Euphoria (American TV series)
- Comment: I initially wanted to write the hook simply as "that the Kill Bill films inspired SZA to write about murdering her ex-boyfriend?", but I realized that at first glance it would suggest she actually confessed to a real-life crime, which would be afoul of a couple BLP guidelines here and there. Would appreciate if ALT0 and ALT1 as they currently stand also give off that impression.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - We Got This Covered is not a reliable source, so needs removing. "The album solidified her status as one of the most well-known R&B artists of her time" strikes me as quite a strong claim that would need excellent sourcing and I'm not sure which part of the references it's referring to (I also wondered how a debut album could soldify that status, though I gather she released EPs beforehand).

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I prefer ALT0 as clearer through its concision. When reading it didn't occur to me that the hook could be interpreted as SZA having literally killed an ex-boyfriend and wrote a song about it, and the meaning is clear: it is certainly "a song about murdering her ex-boyfriend". Just the two issues under sourcing and I'll be happy to approve. — Bilorv (talk) 19:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

@Bilorv: WGTC has been replaced with an NPR citation which is galaxies more reliable no doubt. I have added a couple more sources in the first paragraph of "Background" per WP:EXCEPTIONAL and tweaked the claims to more closely match what the sources in question say. I have relegated relevant quotations from the sources into a footnote to clarify what the sources are being used for, although I have a gut feeling this approach might be overkill. Let me know how the article stands now. ‍ ‍ Elias 🌊 ‍ ‍ ^{💬 "Will you call me?"}

Yep, I'm happy now that the paragraph in question is well-cited (you have gone above and beyond in improving it) and the WGTC source has been replaced, so it's ALT0 approved from me. Thanks for your speedy work! — Bilorv (talk) 11:36, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
