A fact from Dead Pony appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 August 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Dead Pony renamed themselves after a track expressing how they felt after being told that Santa Claus was fictional?
Hey @Launchballer! Saw these guys live the other day and have improved their article to get from draft to mainspace, fancy giving me a hand to expand & improve? Have added an image to the page and some general info and referenced some decent articles. Thanks again! George (talk) 16:50, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As is my usual practice, I've gone through and made smaller prose tweaks myself to save us both time. If there are any you object to, just let me know.
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
Pass, no issues.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
Author missing for list.co.uk source and the title needs trimmed
Please go through in general and clean up the sources - making sure that the titles don't also include publication names, adding missing authors, etc. There seem to be a number of issues across multiple cites.
The lead could be expanded by a couple sentences, including at least one summarizing the Artistry section. I'd split it into two paragraphs. Other than that the article seems to contain about all that's available in reliable sources about the band that I can tell.
Added an extra sentence. I cleared out a couple of bits elsewhere in the lead I felt were unnecessary detail for the lead, so this is now the second biggest paragraph. This should be okay to fit in one.--Launchballer03:29, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I made a couple of prose tweaks and split the paragraph for readability - a few shorter paragraphs seem better for the lead, but not a big deal.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
As I go through it, it is written with the level of the detail that may interest a fan, but not a general reader. For instance, citing the Hug & Pint to say that a former member was gigging at a random Glasgow venue a year after he left the band is too much detail. The band supporting Twin Atlantic is too much detail, or CHVRCHES. Playing at gigs and supporting other acts is extremely run-of-the-mill for bands - it's just what they do and it's not really interesting on an encyclopedic level. I can make more detailed suggestions, but it'd be great if you can take a run through and clean up the article a little.
Not bad, given that my entire opinion of the band is "they do a respectable cover of Maneater!". I have removed "Glasgow YouTuber", "fellow Glaswegian", "commercial music", the sentence beginning "The cover art", and the entire gig content (and moved one cite to the "Tours" section - and removed two bullets that weren't sourced...). Please let me know what else you had in mind.--Launchballer15:38, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The trims look good, thanks for going through.
Pass, any remaining minor issues can be handled in prose review.
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
With trims, and maybe a couple tweaks in prose review, should be fine. No major neutrality issues. Provisional pass.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
No edit wars or major ongoing expansions, question on talk relates to breadth, stable enough, pass.
6.Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
