Pass the Kouchie

(

  • ... that when "Pass the Kouchie" was reworked as "Pass the Dutchie" specifically to avoid cannabis references for Musical Youth, dutchie eventually became a drug reference? Source: Ipolitics
    • ALT1: ... that though "Pass the Kouchie" was banned by the government of Jamaica from radio for endorsing illegal cannabis use, it still made it to Number 1 in the charts? Source: Lincoln Journal Star
  • Reviewed: Flat-roofed pub
  • Comment: For Cannabis Day (20 April). I will say I do not endorse drug use.

Moved to mainspace by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 19:05, 10 March 2021 (UTC).

  • This is just outside the 7 day nomination window, but I think WP:IAR applies here. QPQ always helps. Still new enough, long enough, and neutral. I think there's a potential issue with the sources: the source you use at the top of the nomination isn't in the article. I think there's an obvious case to be made here for the evolving slang, but it just needs to be spelled out in the article itself. It would be helpful if there was a reference in the article, instead of a "citation needed".
  • The suggested hook is better than ALT1, but could use some clean up. Would you accept:
  • Needs some work but on the right track. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:34, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @Shooterwalker: Just checking you know its nominated as a mainspacing, not a new article? Also, the Ipolitics source is in there, it's reference 11. There is no "citation needed"? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:51, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
  • Ah that's my mistake. I had written that this was well cited, but then I accidentally ended up at the article for the remake song, and changed my comment when I saw "citation needed". I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. The original song article is well cited and clear. How do you feel about ALT2? Shooterwalker (talk) 23:56, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
  • @Shooterwalker: It does seem OK, I would say I do think that stating it was avoiding drug references but inadvertantly became one is quite hooky but alt2 seems OK with me. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:49, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I think it still comes across with ALT2, but you could take one more shot at it with an ALT3. What would you like to do? Shooterwalker (talk) 15:12, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I think we can proceed with ALT2. Good work on this one. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
