2023 Anheuser-Busch boycott

(
)

Created by Knightoftheswords281 (talk). Self-nominated at 16:15, 12 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2023 Anheuser-Busch boycott; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Passerby comment (this is not a review, others should still feel free to grab this as a review). Given that there's plenty of sources on this topic and that it's pretty controversial, I'd suggest removing Newsweek as a reference from the article and from any proposed hooks without a truly powerful justification for why any specific Newsweek story is reliable. See WP:NEWSWEEK, that publication has gone downhill since 2013 or so and just makes stuff up these days, and is considered a suspicious-if-not-entirely-deprecated source. While here, I'd check the sources against WP:RSP in general - WP:FORBESCON suggests that using the hook referenced to a Forbes contributor is also not great and should be replaced if possible, unless there's an independent case to be made that the specific author is reliable.

  • an active merge discussion and three maintenance tags are all disqualifying – it'll need to come off before a review. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 16:52, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

  • Comment - all tags on article have been removed @theleekycauldron. - Knightoftheswords281 (Talk · Contribs) 20:26, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Note We need to avoid redirects from the Main Page as per WP:MPNOREDIRECT. [[Bud Light]] is a redirect and that needs fixing before this gets promoted (eventually). Schwede66 04:28, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
New enough, long enough. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ unnecessary. ALT0 is the only usable hook, as Newsweek, Forbes and BusinessInsider are all yellow on WP:RSP, ALT1 is additionally too long, and ALT1 and ALT3 are not in the article. Otherwise good to go.--Launchballer 08:02, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
I feel like ALT0 gives attention to Kid Rock and also misidentifies the weapon he used. The press also often confuses assault weapons (which are aggressive looking military style semi-automatics) and machine guns. KR used an actual machine gun which has an auto sear. I confirmed that ALT4 is cited and in the article and I have removed the Bud Light redirect as @Schwede66: has suggested. The Newsweek reference about the boycott is not the only one in the article supporting the ALT4 hook - I checked. It seems the most accurate and sober choice. Bruxton (talk) 02:19, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
