• We don't mention people who aren't notable enough for an article on the main page. Can this hook be used without Whitecross's name, or would you like to suggest another hook? Yoninah (talk) 18:43, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

• Yoninah How about: ALT1: ... that the documentary about British band Coldplay sold over 300,00 tickets for a single night cinematic release, but was not watched by the lead singer of the band (pictured) himself? Sources: [2][3] MikeOwen ^discuss 19:05, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you, that reads nicely. Here is a slightly tweaked version:
• ALT1a: ... that a documentary about the British band Coldplay sold more than 300,000 tickets for a single-night cinematic release, but was not viewed by the lead singer of the band (pictured)?
• ALT1a hook refs verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Vincent 60030. ALT1a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:38, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
