General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

QPQ: No - not done
Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and neutral. The article includes a few references to the Sideways YouTube channel, and I'm unsure whether they are an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications (per WP:SELFPUB). The article also references DailyO, which was considered reliable at wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_248#DailyO.in. Aside from that, the copyvio report showed some pretty high similarities to the DailyO and Screen Rant articles (possibly the Observer one as well) due to quotations, which should probably be reduced. Hooks are all cited. I find ALT0 and ALT2 to be the most interesting. QPQ has not been done.

Outside of that, I'm unsure whether a separate article for all of the music in Spider-Verse is really necessary. The article discusses the music of each film separately, and I don't see why this article should not be merged to their respective soundtrack articles. Unlike, say, Music of The Lord of the Rings film series, this article doesn't really discuss how the franchise's music as a whole developed. And as of... um, right now, there are only two films in the franchise, which means there's not much content to include and this can't just be an overview article like Music of the Harry Potter films. And that's the end of my monologue. If you got through that, I hope I didn't bore you (y'know what, I probably did). Pamzeis (talk) 15:53, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pamzeis: I have removed the sourcing from Sideways for now, just in case. Though I did find this article by Daily Camera (a local Colorado newspaper) that writes "Holding a music degree from Colorado State University, Sideways is currently affiliated with the College of Music at CU." Unsure if this would help establish the previously included references as okay for use. I'll see what I can do about the DailyO. The consideration of them as unreliable was a single editor's opinion though, and one from five years ago. I have no clue if the same assessment would be concluded today, but maybe because it's been five years it's worth a relook. Regardless, I'll see if I can find another source for the information it references though.
I intend to expand the article, but I think it holds up as a separate article already. I'll look into alleviating the copyvio concerns. Soulbust (talk) 16:11, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed the DailyO sourcing from the article (also noticed that the link was to the summary about DailyO and so it wasn't just a single editor's opinion. My mistake.) Soulbust (talk) 16:34, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
