• Pinging Sammi Brie for input here (and possibly to review the nomination) since, as it stands, the current hook doesn't seem to meet WP:DYKINT considering it's reliant on knowing who Downs is. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:03, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
  • I was wondering if that'd be the case about the hook (it's my idea). I do not review Nathan Obral nominations and vice versa since we are very frequent collaborators and I sometimes provide assistance to his articles. Here's a possible ALT1: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that staffers of an Ohio radio station learned it had been sold on the same day its owner died? ([1] + [2])

• • I support this ALT1 from Sammi Brie, by the way, and would be fine with it being the primary hook. Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 21:22, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Yup. ALT1 should be more broadly interesting compared to the original. ALT0 has been struck. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
