Tuya Soy
... that despite being in rotation on various radio stations in the United States, "Tuya Soy" failed to chart in Billboard magazine?

- ... that according to Miami's WPOW radio station PD, Kid Curry, the commercial failure of "Tuya Soy" was the fault of the record label?
That hook is fine and verified. The article is long enough, new enough, has no plagiarism, and the references are reliable. Sorry for taking a while to get back to the review. SL93 (talk) 17:50, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The hook may be understood in certain circles, but the locution "Miami's WPOW radio station PD, Kid Curry" isn't going to make sense to a large fraction of Wikipedia's readers, including me. The abbreviation "PD" should not be used in either the article or the hook. (Does it mean "program director"?) Furthermore, unless Kid Curry is notable (am I supposed to recognize this name?), the hook probably should be reworded to say something like this:
The article language about "PD" Kid Curry has been fixed. However, I've looked at the source and it does not support the hook in either version. It quotes Curry as saying that the record labels don't promote this style of music, and he mentioned this song as an example, but he didn't say that this song would have been commercially successfully with better promotion. --Orlady (talk) 21:34, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
- Isn't that implied here though? — DivaKnockouts 02:02, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- It might be implied by what he said, but we can't credit him with something he didn't actually say. The hook fact needs to be clearly and explicitly supported by sources. (Also note that "putting two and two together" is a form of original research, except when "two and two" are actual numbers. Original research is not allowed in Wikipedia.) --Orlady (talk) 12:00, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
