Never Say Never (Basement Jaxx song)

(

)

... that the twerking robot in the official video for Basement Jaxx's song "Never Say Never" parodies other futuristic Japanese robots, including Nobuhiro Takahashi's SHIRI bot and Mirikan humanoid robots made by Hiroshi Ishiguro?

The hook is 226 prose characters, well above the absolute maximum of 200 (and hooks should be shorter than that max), so I've struck it. A new, shorter hook needs to be proposed as an ALT1. According to DYKcheck, the article itself is 8096 prose characters, far more than the minimum 1500 required for new articles. The article was rated as a stub on its talk page, which is clearly out of date; I've bumped that to C class. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:11, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that the twerking robot in the official video for Basement Jaxx's "Never Say Never" spoofs other futuristic Japanese robots, including the SHIRI bot and Mirikan humanoid robots? 和DITOR E tails 05:25, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Full review needed now that valid hook is available. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:30, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

ALT2 below gives the same info as ALT1 but should be within the 200, ~ R.T.G 12:37, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

You could make the hook a lot shorter. The part that I think captures the most attention is the "twerking robot". I mostly stopped reading after that.--¿3family6 _contribs 15:55, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

ALT 3 ... that Basement Jaxx feature a twerking robot in their "Never Say Never" music video?

This article is new enough and long enough. ALT3 has an inline citation and is the best and hookiest hook, and I have struck the others. I detected no policy concerns. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:22, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
