Infobox and lead

• Are you sure Ken Duro Ifill should be linked to a second time under producers in the infobox when he's listed by his initials there?
• Remove the exact release date from prose and add the release year in brackets, as the album release date is not notable for the lead
• "fourteenth track off his" → "14th track on his" per MOS:NUM for consistency since you wrote 14th in the body
• Everything in the lead needs to be written out in the body, therefore mention the songwriters and producer in prose there
• Mention how certain writers received songwriting credit as a result of their work being sampled
• Why is Kdi not mentioned under the songwriters when he was one and once you've done this, remove the link for the producer sentence
• It is relatively notable for the lead when the song was first played, so mention it as being done so to Steven Victor at the end of the first para
• The R&B and bounce genre blend should be in the same sentence as the sample instead, coming directly before it with a clause
• "The track prominently samples and" → ""Something Special" prominently samples and" with the pipe
• Remove "2003 hit song" because this is too much info for the lead
• "sees Pop Smoke obsess" → "Lyrically, the song sees Pop Smoke obsess" as a new sentence
• "criticized the song as" → "criticized it as" but both of these statements are made by one critic each, so replace with different info and probably try not to use direct quotes
• Wikilink should solely be on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, plus add a space between that and the word chart
• "while it further peaked the top 40" → "while it peaked within the top 40", as the US position was not top 40
• Mention the platinum certification since that is notable for the lead

Background

• Merge with the below section and retitle to Background and composition, as one para sections are not advisable especially for GAs
• "in April 2019. Victor wanted to sign Pop Smoke" → "in April 2019, who wanted to sign the rapper" to avoid sentences being too short
• "Pop Smoke played him an" → "The rapper played him an" so you don't start two consecutive sentences with his stage name
• "high volume. Pop Smoke spent five hours one day in Los Angeles working on the song." → "high volume, which he had spent five hours of one day in Los Angeles working on."
• Pipe single to Single (music)
• Pipe stems to Stem mixing and mastering
• "hard drives and CDs." → "hard drives and DVD backups."
• "could not find it." → "could not find the stems." to be specific
• "was not in storage." → "was not in the storage." per the source
• Pipe Pro Tools 5 to Pro Tools
• "He sent the files and later got them back and put" → "Kdi sent the files and later got them back, before putting"
• Add the writing and production credits at the end of this para

Composition

• Make this the second para of the above section, following my earlier comment
• Pipe samples to Sampling (music)
• "is a recorded version of" → "is a reworked version of"
• Add the release years of the songs in brackets if they are known
• "which in turn sampled" → "which in turn samples"
• Mention who the songwriters are that received credit to avoid OR and where is the part about the title sourced?
• Pipe chorus to Refrain
• [3][5] should solely be at the end of the sentence and in numerical order
• "the line "I really like What you've, done to me" to "You are (You are) something special (My girl) I'll take you on a shopping spree"." → "the lyrics "I really like / What you've, done to me" to "You are (You are) something special / (My girl) I'll take you on a shopping spree"."
• "wrote that Pop Smoke's" → "wrote that the song shows where Pop Smoke's" or something similar, to be specific

Critical reception

• "Earmilk's Ashton Howard opined the song" → "Howard opined the song"
• "Alphonse Pierre said some of" → "Pierre said that some of"
• Wikilink 50 Cent
• Add a space after the end of the sentence
• "could sing unusually well, "for someone" → "can sing unusually well "[f]or someone"
• "seems "at times" → "seems "[a]t times"
• "all his possibilities"." → "all his possibilities."" per MOS:QUOTE on full sentences
• Pipe trap to Trap music

Commercial performance

• Retitle to Release and commercial performance
• "certified the single a platinum" → "awarded the song a platinum"
• "on-demand streams." → "on-demand streams in the United States."

Credits and personnel

• For correct order, Kdi should be the one directly after Pop Smoke'

Charts

• See MOS:TABLECAPTION

Certifications

• See MOS:TABLECAPTION

References

• Copyvio score looks decent at 34.6%
• Make sure all of these are archived by using the tool
• Cite Genius as publisher instead for ref 3 and fix MOS:QWQ issues
• Ref 20 needs to be replaced with a different one because that only shows the top 50, even on any archives

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; been quite specific in my changes for this one, though! -- K. Peake 09:06, 7 April 2021 (UTC) reply

Kyle Peake Sorry it took so long, my parents are very stern about electronics. ShootForTheStars ( talk) 06:49, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply

ShootForTheStars Now that you have nominated the article for AFD, I am going to ✗ Fail it since not only does this violate the stability criterion, but you obviously don't believe GA status is worthy now. -- K. Peake 20:40, 16 April 2021 (UTC) reply
