• I take.--Launchballer 17:24, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

@3family6: Both are long enough and new enough. QPQs are both done, though do me a favour and let WT:DYK know you reviewed Smeargle as it's being discussed there as part of a themed set. No reason why either would deserve a maintenance template. Couple of things:

I saw that discussion, I'll notify them.--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 20:01, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

• What makes androopylifemetal.blogspot.com a reliable source?

It's an interview with Gag, and I'm citing Gag for his statements on the creation of 6-Way Sin Decomposition, so it's an WP:ABOUTSELF situation. Even though some of that isn't directly about him, 1) with Barragan there isn't a BLP issue, and 2) he was closely associated with the production of the album and his statements aren't controversial, so there's not a BLP issue where his statements touch on living people (I checked into this at the BLP noticeboard months ago; and before that regarding the Eternal Blue FA where LaPlante made a statement about when a fellow band member joined.)--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 20:01, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

• The Flactorophia article is too short to deserve a lead section, without which this would be under 1,500 characters. If you have any further sources, I'd add them.

I should have added a "style" section, anyway. Multiple reviewers noted the drum machine programming, also.--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 20:01, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

• I see a small amount of WP:CLOP in the Redemption article, please rectify.--Launchballer 17:41, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Will do.--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 20:01, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

• Launchballer, how do the respective articles look now?--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 22:31, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that an eight-track EP lasting less than nine minutes was rereleased ten years after the death of its performer in a fire?

Launchballer, I'm going ahead with your suggestion of combining this with the Factory nightclub fire. The only reason I didn't was I'd had some reticence of the disparity in importance between that world news event and the obscurity of this artist, but that's a great suggestion and I'll run with it.--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 20:04, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

The fire article is long and new enough, QPQ-compliant, clean on Earwig, and doesn't need any maintenance templates. I need a reviewer for ALT1 because I introduced 'ten years after'. (I did wonder about ALT2: ... that an eight-track sub-nine-minute EP by 6-Way Sin Decomposition contributor Flactorophia was rereleased ten years after his death in a fire?)--Launchballer 20:40, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

• • I considered including that compilation, too, but I think it gets too complicated and clunky, and I think my proposed hook for it separately is more interesting.--3family6 (Talk to me|See what I have done) 22:32, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

My concerns have been resolved; I still need a reviewer for ALT1.--Launchballer 03:53, 28 January 2026 (UTC)

The unusual EP format and rare circumstances of the performer's death make it more intriguing, as does all of them having bold links. All three articles have a QPQ, including the one in the fire nom. Fixed a minor issue with hook verification, but if the amount of time is rounded it's still ten years, so no need to change. I'll approve ALT1. ミラP@Miraclepine 17:01, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
