Hook eligibility:
- Cited: - that's not what the source says:
To ensure people pay their fair amount, try a bill-splitting calculator like the free, popular Splitwise. Everyone enters what they paid for, such as one person covering dinner and another covering pre-meal drinks. Then the app shows what people owe each other. In my testing, I found that it serves the most needs.
- Interesting: - boring
- Other problems: - promotional hook, and not mentioned in article

- Placing a maybe symbol here. The nomination should not be outright rejected since only the hook is contested. Flibirigit (talk) 14:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, we should allow the nominator to respond. Also, to clarify my previous statement, I had not fully evaluated everything and thus hadn't used any official symbols (which would imply a full review). I agree that the hook needs to be workshopped a fair bit to make it less promotional, I do think however, that the hook is cited given that the article in general talks about Splitwise in the context of handling money related conversations. -- Sohom (talk) 19:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at the article, the article tone may be a more significant issue than the hook. The "Functionality" section vaguely reads like an advertisement, which is probably not the intention but it could still benefit from a rewrite. The "History" section might not meet WP:Proseline and so probably needs revision. The issues aren't insurmountable, but they do need to be addressed for the nomination to pass.
