Comment: I guess the hook relies on the reader knowing who Hakuho is (his mentor, regarded as the greatest sumo wrestler of all time) Suggestions on how to improve this would be welcomed.
I suppose the hook could be improved by mentioning that Hakuho was a yokozuna or mentioning that he is "regarded as the greatest sumo wrestler of all time". No other comment regarding the article or hook at this time. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria for newness and length. Article is well sourced. I am WP:AGF on non-English language sources. Earwig's Copyvio detector does not detect any copyvio issues. No issues with tone either. There are some terms that are Japanese language terms specific to Sumo (eg. jonokuchi, jonidan and sandanme) . I request the nominator to consider Wikilinking them. If this has been deliberately avoided to prevent overlinking, please let me know. Also, it is a stylization thing -- but, to improve readability, I tend to wikilink the first non-lede occurence of the term. I know some editors prefer to wikilink only the first occurence (lede + main article). I find the hook interesting. Not a sumo follower, but, I did know Hakuho. I am open to reviewing an alternate hook if the nominator wants to go with a variant based on Narutolovehinata5's suggestion. The hook's source sits behind a paywall, but, the nominator has posted the corresponding text as a part of the nomination. I am approving basis that text. QPQ done. Marking the hook approved. Passing the nomination back to the nominator for any minor / cosmetic updates to the article. Nice work. Ktin (talk) 03:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ktin: Thanks for the review! jonokuchi, jonidan and sandanme are all redirects to [professional sumo divisions]], which is a piped link in the article, but I can see how that's not immediately obvious so will wikilink them instead. Per Narutolovehinata5's suggestion I'm proposing:
@Pawnkingthree: I was thinking about this one last night. Can you do me an assist and copy the date of birth and birthname into the main section and pop a source against them? Currently they are in the lede and do not have a citation against them. Ktin (talk) 02:13, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hakuhō was not yet Miyagino at this time, but known as Magaki. He did not acquire the name Miyagino until later in the month. - OtharLuin (talk) 00:10, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
