Article new enough; created Dec. 24. Long enough, at almost 4000 characters. Within policy on all counts: neutrality, sources, and paraphrasing issues, etc. I like both hooks, although I prefer the 1st one. How about combining both, like this: ... that New Zealand-born musician Millie Lovelock was a student columnist for Otago Daily Times while writing her English Literature Masters thesis on One Direction? Cool and interesting hook, sourced, and neutral. 1st DYK, so QIQ not required. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 03:54, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I like your version. I can go with that, thanks for the review.Road to Oblivion (talk) 22:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2: ... that New Zealand-born musician Millie Lovelock was a student columnist for the Otago Daily Times while writing her English literature master's thesis on One Direction?

To keep this moving, I'm giving this a tick based on the above review and pulling out the preferred hook as ALT2 (striking the other hooks for clarity); note that I haven't reviewed anything myself. Note also that I've added a definite article to the hook as that is how the newspaper is generally referred to, dropped caps, and added an apostrophe. Schwede 66 03:07, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
