Shatzi Weisberger

(

)

... that Shatzi Weisberger worried she might die before her funeral?
- ALT0a: ... that Shatzi Weisberger spoke to the guests at her funeral?
- ALT1: ... that when asked about the secret to her longevity, 91-year-old Shatzi Weisberger said she smokes marijuana every night?
- ALT2: ... that Shatzi Weisberger, "the people's bubbie", broke curfew to attend a Black Lives Matter protest?
- ALT3: ... that "the people's bubbie" is a Jewish anti-Zionist?

- Comment: Hmmm, I really think ALT0 has potential, but I can't quite get the wording right...

Full review to follow, but while I think the funeral hooks are cute, they're misleading since the "funeral" described in the article wasn't an actual funeral since she's still alive. If I had to pick a hook, I think ALT1 is the best option. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:41, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Aw, but NYT called it a funeral, as did she! We've got an article on living funerals – it needs some serious work, but we could even link it if that would fix the issue. I won't make this a hill for either of us to sustain any injury on, though, so it's entirely your call, Narutolovehinata5. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 04:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Article meets DYK requirements and a QPQ has been provided. No close paraphrasing was detected. As I mentioned earlier, the funeral hooks were actually the best options, but unfortunately they are misleading. I would however be fine with those hooks if living funeral could be improved to DYK standards (making the hooks double hooks). If ALT0/ALT0a doesn't work out, ALT1 is the next-best option: it's cited inline, and while the hook source uses the term "dope" I'm accepting the re-wording to marijuana since that seems to be the intended meaning.

ALT1 it is, then, Narutolovehinata5! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 15:31, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Would it be too difficult to bring living funeral to DYK standards? If that's the case then I will approve ALT1. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, Narutolovehinata5, I forgot about this. Let's just go with ALT1. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 04:57, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. ALT1 is approved (as much as I really wanted to go with ALT0/ALT0a). Just in case there are any BLP concerns about the statement, note that it came from Weisberger herself and I'm pretty sure she said it with humor in mind (i.e. she doesn't see it as something bad).
