Toy Town
... that Bonkers exists because of the "cult" success of "Toy Town"?Source: Hodgson, Jaimie (20 July 2021). "'Why Don't We All Go Bonkers?' – The Rise and Fall of Happy Hardcore". Vice. Archived from the original on 1 February 2023. Retrieved 13 April 2024.

Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 8 past nominations.
Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.ResonantDistortion 19:39, 13 April 2024 (UTC).
Unless the reader is familiar with Bonkers (and I doubt most of our readership is), the hook is not easy to understand, let alone catchy. I understand if the intention is "the hook is vague on purpose to encourage readers to click", but with the current wording it might just confuse rather than entice readers. Pinging Launchballer for possible hook suggestions given they're familiar with music articles and hooks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:53, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that "Toy Town" "almost destroyed" the happy hardcore scene, according to MC Magika?
ALT2: ... that the BBC Radio 1 DJ Kutski described the Hixxy and DJ Sharkey song "Toy Town" as "the definition of the UK hardcore sound"?--Launchballer 11:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for the feedback Narutolovehinata5 and for the suggestions Launchballer. I did have a concern the initial proposed hook weas a bit too vague. I personally like Launchballers ALT1. ResonantDistortion 11:58, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for ALT1! I'm probably not the best person to review it as I've never heard of MC Magika before, but I don't think knowledge of the person is required to understand the hook so it's not a major issue. I've struck the other suggestions, so this can now receive a full review. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Narutolovehinata5 (talk • contribs) 02:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- This is the oldest fully unreviewed nom (well, Template:Did you know nominations/Environmental damage of Gaza caused by the Israel–Hamas war, but that's clearly in hand) and I need a QPQ, so I'm reviewing. Long enough, new enough. No neutrality issues found, no maintenance templates found, Earwig has no valid complaints. QPQ done. Looking at ALT1 now, I'd question whether we need to mention MC Magika by name, but I'll let a prepbuilder make that decision. New reviewer needed to approve ALT1.--Launchballer 12:14, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
