Plastic Love

  • Reviewed: exempt (?)

Created by Ganbaruby (talk). Self-nominated at 02:01, 20 February 2020 (UTC).

Symbol possible vote.svgArticle is new enough and long enough. Source #10 doesn't seem to support the first sentence cited to it. "notability through the platform's recommendations feature" aside from being ungrammatical isn't supported by #9 either. #8 does not appear to support "rise of the vaporwave" either. Most of #4 does not support the statements cited to it. I can't read the Japanese sources. No copyvio or plagiarism that I could notice. It's not clear in the hook if 2017 should be 2018. I see that you are QPQ exempt. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:24, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping Thanks for the review. I did a bit of editing, and I just want to run some edits with you again. The citation numbers changed, so I'll try to refer to them by website name.
  • I've removed the first sentence to the Vice (#10) article because it doesn't really support it directly, as you said. I dug through some Japanese sites as well, and most pointed to the YouTube comment section as proof of "resonance with international viewers". I don't really feel like that's notable enough to include, so I've left it out for now.
  • The Open Culture article (#9) does point to YouTube's algorithms, but I've also added the Japan Times one (#3) because it also says so as well. I've also reworded the sentence for better flow.
  • Again, the Rolling Stone article (#8) does point to Plastic Love coinciding with vaporwave, but I've added a new source to support that.
  • I've removed the phrase about promoting the 30th anneversary of Variety, which I realized the Arama article (#4) doesn't actually say so. The rest of the information is there.
Let me know if there's any more that I should change. Thanks!   Ganbaruby!  (talk to me) 07:50, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping One last question: Are we sure it was a resurgence? The hook depends on it but I am not sure if the sources support this contention. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:07, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
Template:Ping Yes I would call it a "resurgence", since Takeuchi at the time was already a well known singer, and the album that Plastic Love comes from, Variety, did top Oricon's weekly album charts at its release. I would also be fine with "surge in popularity" instead.   Ganbaruby!  (talk to me) 09:20, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
On a side note, do you think the picture in the article is a good addition, or not really?   Ganbaruby!  (talk to me) 09:26, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
I am a little wary of the copyright licence of that image. When one uploads fanart, it often happens that people crib images off the Internet w/o giving a source and with the image being non-free. The problem I see with "resurgence" is that it's not used in the sources; perhaps a quote could clarify this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:30, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
