* ... that sisters Amal, Hadia, and Hayat Talsam, called Al Balabil, were referred to as "The Sudanese Supremes"? Source: Al Balabil (musical group)...they were sometimes referred to as the “Sudanese Supremes” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/21/sudans-girlband-the-nightingales-world-tour-sudanese-supremes

• • ALT1:... that the song "The Boat Set Sail" by Al Balabil, with lyrics in a Nubian language, evokes the destructive effects of the Aswan Dam on the region of Nubia in southern Egypt and northern Sudan? Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WknfIVt2_d4 Al Balabil (musical group)

• Munfarid1 As I don't understand the language the first hook is easier for me to check - suggest you use https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/apr/21/sudans-girlband-the-nightingales-world-tour-sudanese-supremes then there will be no quibles about source reliability. If you know who is who in the pic you could name them like in the infobox pic of The Supremes. If you cannot find a reliable source for the discography you should probably delete it.

Chidgk1 I have just replaced the source with the link from the Guardian, as you suggested. Unfortunately, I don't know who is who in the pic, and I have deleted the discography from discogs from the text, and put it into External links. - That is allowed, isn't it?Munfarid1 (talk) 01:16, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Chidgk1 Do you think, my revised hooks are okay now? Thanks, Munfarid1 (talk) 19:22, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Article length and age are fine, checked QPQ not required, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources says discogs can be used as an external ref so everything fine here. Although the news is sad. Approving first hook so now we just wait for it to be put in the DYK queue.

Yoninah As I have got confused about pics in DYK in the past please could you tell me whether it would be OK or not to use the pic if the requestor would like to, given that we don't know who the copyright holder is? Chidgk1 (talk) 13:53, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
