Here'll be my review. Arconning (talk) 14:46, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Prose and MoS

Lead and infobox

• Any source citing 6:04 as the song's length?
  • I had difficulty finding a good source for this, but hopefully the Rough Trade Records source will suffice in lieu of a third-party article (also changed to 6:03, which seems to be the more consistent listing). Engineeringest (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
• This statement should be sourced in the lead as it is a quote, "while other reviews commented on its status as an "ambitious" debut for Greep's solo career."
  • Added. Engineeringest (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Composition and content

• "would tell him, sang", "would tell him, sung"
  • Corrected. Engineeringest (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Music video

• No issues. All good.

Release and reception

• "during recording, but had" and "solo live shows, but" remove the commas for easier flow. Sorry if it's a bit nitpicky!
  • No worries! Corrected. Engineeringest (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
• "The release of both "Holy, Holy" and The New Sound as a whole were", considering you're grouping them as a bunch shouldn't it be "was"?
  • Corrected. Engineeringest (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Media

• Uses a fair use image... seems okay. I'd rather a GIF showing him getting strikes but it seems all good.
  • I had this thought as well, but was unsure if it'd be acceptable to use a moving GIF under fair use. If it can be added, I can upload a GIF showing this soon. It is one of the funnier parts of the music video once you notice it. Engineeringest (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
    • I've added a GIF that shows one of the stitched edits in the music video and replaced the original image. Engineeringest (talk) 16:17, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Refs

• Earwig just picks up quotes, nevertheless it seems okay. All good here.
• Spot checks:
  • [4] Everything checks out here.
  • [9] Seems alright, everything matches.
  • [19] Here as well.
• [4]'s source can be linked to University of Southern California#Student media

Misc

• No ongoing edit war and quite neutral.
• I notice there's no background section, hopefully this be included to give some context for the reader on the background of the musician and their writing style. The release part of the "Release and reception" section could definitely be moved there.
  • I went ahead and reorganized a bit to make a Background section happen, including the release information. Additionally, I believe there's a bit of information that can be added about the recording of "Holy, Holy" in particular, from sources about The New Sound sessions as a whole. I'll make sure to add this soon, when I'm not as pressed for time. Engineeringest (talk) 20:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
    • I have now expanded the Background section to include information on the recording of "Holy, Holy", as well as Greep's songwriting style. Engineeringest (talk) 16:17, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

      @Engineeringest Will be promoting in a few! Got wrapped up a bit but everything looks great! Arconning (talk) 16:36, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

• ... that the music video for "Holy, Holy" is purposefully edited to show Geordie Greep consistently bowling strikes?

• Source: https://www.themicmagazine.uk/post/geordie-greep-s-holy-holy-a-chaotic-masterpiece-or-total-misfire - "No matter how many cocktails he seems to be drinking - he scores a perfect strike every time. As the video progresses, the editing gets more obvious, as you see the ball going nowhere near the centre, then Greep steps in front of the shot, and by the time he’s moved aside, all the pins are knocked down."

Overall: Article was nominated for DYK within 7 days of reaching Good Article status. The article is more than 1,500 words in prose, sourced, and neutral. The hook immediately caught my eye and is interesting. Earwig picked up a likely violation of 44.8% but it mostly came from a properly cited quote in the article. A QPQ is not needed at this time. lullabying (talk) 19:24, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
