- @SL93: Hello. Any interest?--Filmomusico (talk) 19:11, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
I'm not really sure if any of the hooks meet the interestingness criterion. ALT2 feels vaguely promotional to me, ALT1 isn't special or unusual, and ALT0 seems rather bland. Can other hook proposals be suggested here? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:26, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: I've suggested ALT3, although admittedly, this article doesn't offer an abundance of material. (also, we've had exceptions to MOS:CONTRACTIONS before, so that's not an obstacle if we don't say it is) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 22:54, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
It's not the best hook, but given that there really aren't any other options I think it will suffice. The article otherwise meets DYK requirements, I didn't find any close paraphrasing, and since the nominator has only one successful DYK nomination so far they are exempt for QPQ. Per my earlier comments I have struck all hooks except for ALT3; however, I'm still on the fence as to its appropriateness, so I'd like to hear a second opinion on it.

- ALT3 is fine IMO (now that I've tweaked it for accuracy), in fact it's quite amusing and would I think make a good quirky. Gatoclass (talk) 05:36, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
ALT3 looks good, I've checked the source and it's verifiable, so that's good to go in my view. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:27, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
