Reviewing per GARC142. 1brianm7 (talk) 19:17, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

@Launchballer: This is my second GA review, and in the first one I think I went a bit overboard on the GA criteria, so tell me if I'm doing so here! 1brianm7 (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

• It may be out of scope, but I don't really think G.R.L. discography should exist. All of its content can be moved over to this page, and IMO that would be better. Consider doing so.
• The USA Today reference is duplicated, ref 23 and 37, and neither have a date parameter
• I made some minor edits to the first sentence of the body.
• Evidently not enough, though: the word team did not contain the letter I - it still doesn't, to the best of my knowledge
• I think the first paragraph is a bit confusing. We begin with the date it initially launched, before caveating that for a paragraph. We don't tell the reader that Antin formed Paradiso Girls or Girlicious, we don't tell the reader what The Pussycat Dolls are. its unclear what group Antin started holding auditions for, and we spend a lot of text with long introductions on members who left before the first single. also, and Laker Girl and Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Vanessa Curry and Erica Jenkins should probably have a respectively or something.
• their June debut single "Vacation" on the label. - on the label in June, not June debut single
• G.R.L. released the single "Ugly Heart" and a self-titled EP in June and July - I think the articles chronology is sufficiently janky that we should spell out 2014, and also should there be a respectively
• less than a week before Battle died by suicide - this really shouldn't be dropped on the reader as an ancillary clause to Ugly Heart getting released in the UK
• launch the firm's Campaign to Change Direction with Michelle Obama - which firm?
• Shortly after the former, Little Mix were accused of ripping off "Ugly Heart" for their single "Shout Out to My Ex",[30][31] prompting the band to defend themselves during a Belgian radio interview.[32][33] - the band is unclear here, we are referring to Little Mix but I thought it was referring to GRL. Also, does this need to be in a top-level overview of the group? The only relevance I've been able to spy is that a Little Mix member said that Emmalyn loved the song and that they were friends
• After touring as a trio until 2020,[34] the pair briefly reunited with... - no comment needed
• Slayton used a July 2025 podcast appearance to blame money for the band's subsequent dissolution - the 2021 dissolution, or the 2015 one
• and a July 2026 joint post with Estrada and Van Oppen to announce that Bennett had died in late May.[37] - I don't think its pertinent for the readers to know that Estrada and Van Oppen announced Bennett's death, just that she died. I've only skimmed Bennett's talk page, but there seemed to be some sort of kerfuffle there, so I may be wrong
• We have articles for the EP and three singles? Is there no reception for the group? What did people think about them? A very cursory search found three supergroups that are GAs: Slash's Snakepit, Silk Sonic, and Tapeworm (band). Besides the last one which is odd, the former have a lot more content that I would want to see in this article, if it exists.

Will comment more once you have a chance to respond. The images lack alt text, which is now required, but are appropriately licensed (one from the Pentagon!), and no copyvio from earwig. 1brianm7 (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

Noting that I've seen this and will respond when I'm untired enough to be sure of what I'm doing.--Launchballer 23:10, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
