Size and date check out, well-referenced, interesting hook, no apparent copyvio concerns. Believe this is good to go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Bushranger (talk • contribs) 22:28, 12 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I think the tribute to the Little Rock Nine is 9, which is an album, not a song. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 18:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
  - Probably a reason why it says "composed works", not "composed songs". - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:59, 31 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
    - Yeah, but to be even more nitpicky, I don't think an album titled after a thing is necessarily based on it? The cited source doesn't say that, either. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 18:09, 1 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
      - I'd say it is, but I can't see newspapers.com sources (no account), so I was AGFing on that. If it doesn't...hm. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:54, 1 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
        Well, it says the title pays tribute to the Little Rock Nine, which I guess works well enough. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:02, 2 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
        Cbl62 2 QPQs are still needed. SL93 (talk) 02:05, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
        A---huh. How did I overlook that? Yeah, need those two for it to go. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:57, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Two QPQs completed. Thanks for the patience. Cbl62 (talk) 19:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
