A new hook has to be proposed as the current one does not meet WP:DYKFICTION. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1... that the British short film Kaur (2022), toured Gurudwaras, festivals and universities in the UK before appearing on ITVX, BritBox and then Netflix? Whispyhistory (talk) 06:22, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still not so sure if this works either. @Launchballer: What do you think? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:26, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parentheses aren't allowed per WP:DYK200, and I think 'ITVX, Britbox and then Netflix' is pure namedropping (and it should really be 'Britbox, and'). I'll take a look when I get back, but I'd be inclined to take a rewritten version of ALT1, like so: ALT1a: ... that prior to appearing on video-on-demand services, the 2022 short film Kaur had toured festivals, universities, and gurdwaras? Also, is there a difference between 'gurdwara' and 'gurudwara'?--Laun chba ller 11:25, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just had a flick through the references. Per ref #3, there's a hook in some variant of ... that Dr Parvinder Shergill became so fed up of waiting for another film to be led by a Sikh woman that she co-wrote and co-produced her own?.--Laun chba ller 14:42, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both... I'll work on it... sounds good. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:13, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2... that British Sikh physician Parvinder Shergill could not find a recent mainstream English film led by a woman that looked like her so she co-wrote and co-produced her own?Actor, writer and producer Parvinder Shergill...she's had to wait too long to see movies featuring women who look like her....Bend it like Beckham, 20 years ago, was the last mainstream film to feature women from her background...She co-wrote and co-produced it ...[2][3] Whispyhistory (talk) 13:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reads a bit breathless. I'm going to suggest:

ALT2a... that after British Sikh physician Parvinder Shergill could not find a recent mainstream English film led by a woman that looked like her, she co-wrote and co-produced her own?

...and call for a full reviewer.--Laun chba ller 21:10, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer needed within the next few days, or this nomination will have passed the two month limit. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Whispyhistory and Philafrenzy: I guess I can do this review myself. Long enough, new enough. QPQ done and Earwig has no valid complaints. There are, however, a few things that concern me regarding the hook. I'm not seeing the word "physician" in the article, and the article doesn't actually spell out that Shergill is a British Sikh (it only implies it). The hook and article says "looked like her" and the closest any of the references get is "women from her background" and I'm not convinced they're the same thing. Also, the Plot section's cruising for a pruning, as it is visibly bigger than the others and I'm all ears as to why it would not deserve {{undue weight}}.--Laun chba ller 14:16, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw your edit to the article. Apologies, I searched for 'looked' when I should have searched for 'look'. This should be fine now, but as it's nearly half four in the morning where I am I want to look at this while I'm wide awake before ticking this off.--Laun chba ller 03:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
