- ... that Irving L. Branch has the 'eighth-crappiest' military base school in the US named in his honor? Source: https://www.bakersfield.com/news/eighth-crappiest-military-base-school-gets-share-of-63-million/article_1c2454dc-942b-58f2-bf2f-df79bb5f5229.html

- Comment: I think "eighth-crappiest" needs to be in the prose, not just the source title. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 18:21, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's not a requirement for DYK, and I didn't think it rated a mention in the article body. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Hawkeye7: doesn't WP:DYK#gen3a say that
The hook should include a definite fact that is mentioned in the article
? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 07:42, 26 May 2022 (UTC)- It is in the article. I've seen hooks based on the footnotes before. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 08:04, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- I agree with theleekycauldron. The information is only in the title of a reference. It doesn't look like it would be complicated to add it to the article body. SL93 (talk) 03:26, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

- @Hawkeye7: This nom has been open for awhile, are you OK with either adding the hook fact to the article, or using a different hook? BuySomeApples (talk) 21:56, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- I think that if it doesn't merit a mention in the article body like the nominator said, it certainly doesn't merit being mentioned on DYK. SL93 (talk) 21:58, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

- ALT1: ... that Irving L. Branch headed the X-15 rocket program and the first test flight of the B-70 Valkyrie supersonic bomber?

- Full review needed now that a new hook has been proposed. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:13, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
