• Newly created and long enough. Neutral, balanced with good references. However, the hook is boring – it does not "hook" my attention and requires carefully reading the article to figure out what it even means. Is it possible to suggest something...hookier?

• There's not really much to go on other than quotes from critics, to be fair, and I figured something neutral would be better than highlighting one of its negative reviews. GRAPPLE ^X 10:28, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

• Grapple X, if this is the most interesting hook you can construct, perhaps the article is not appropriate for DYK. As it says in the DYK guide, The hook should include a definite fact that is mentioned in the article and interesting to a broad audience. This simply doesn't come close to meeting that standard: "did you know that X is like Y" is about as bland as they come, and adding "according to Z" make it, if anything, less interesting. I've struck the hook; please post here how you wish to proceed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:32, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

• Sod it then; I'd rather withdraw something factual now than make up some vague or distorted bullshit that gets pulled later. GRAPPLE ^X 13:49, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
