Created by Miraclepine (talk). Self-nominated at 01:58, 6 March 2020 (UTC).

• New enough, long enough and within policy (written in a neutral tone, adequately sourced and free of CLOP). ALT1 is the more interesting of the two hooks. Hook fact is supported by an inline citation. QPQ review is completed. GTG. Dee03 18:46, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

• These hooks are more worthy of a fanzine than a main page appearance. As the nominator has been blocked for six months, would someone else like to suggest an alt? Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

• As the nominator is banned, marking for closure. Yoninah (talk) 20:59, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

• As Narutolovehinata5 has expressed an interest in salvaging this, I'm reopening it. Yoninah (talk) 23:35, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

• ALT2 ... that Japanese voice actress Rei Matsuzaki wrote a newspaper sports column on the Tokyo Yakult Swallows?
• ALT2a ... that Japanese voice actress Rei Matsuzaki wrote a newspaper sports column on the Tokyo Yakult Swallows baseball team?

@Dee03, Yoninah, and BlueMoonset: Does this sound okay? Unfortunately, it's the only hook fact I can think of that doesn't sound fanzine-y, so if it's not suitable, feel free to re-close this. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:43, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks, that's a lot better. @Dee03: can you review? Yoninah (talk) 00:04, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Dee03 hasn't been active in a week so a new reviewer might be needed if they don't return soon. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:41, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

• OK, I'll handle it. Foreign-language hook ref AGF and cited inline. Rest of review per Dee03. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 12:09, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks; however I wonder if it would have been better to stick with ALT2a since it isn't clear from the hook that the Swallows are a baseball team, and in any case the Swallows may not be that well-known outside of Japan or baseball circles. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:14, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

• OK. ALT2a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:58, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
