- Not a full review, but I'd recommend brainstorming new hooks. The second hook seems to namedrop names likely to be unfamilar to the reader, and the first hook runs afoul of WP:DYKFICTION. Bremps... 01:55, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

| General: Article is new enough and long enough |

| Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems |

| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Article is new enough, long enough, is neutral and plagiarism free. The hooks are cited, but as with Bremps I think there are more interesting things than the line-up changing (if you think about the Sugababes it's not unusual). I wonder about a hook about the song supporting gay marriage. I put a ? for well sourced, as I was surprised the reception section was so short - I would like to see this expanded, especially since the article is only just over the character count, perhaps these might help, see here & here. QPQ is done. I struck the earlier ALTs, so per the above comment. I appreciate you've been waiting a while Bogger! Lajmmoore (talk) 11:17, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Lajmmoore, I've added some reviews to reception section. (Most reviews I've found were, unfortunately, in versions of The Mail). I'll find some hooks about them and the referendum.-Bogger (talk) 11:30, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you Bogger - both those hooks are checked and OK and the reception section is improved, which I think strengthens the article. Tick to follow Lajmmoore (talk) 08:43, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
