  • Comment: DYK No Rome was split into two DYKs (with George Daniel) so claiming QPQ for the second time on this one.Bogger (talk) 12:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Created by Bogger (talk). Self-nominated at 12:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Aisling (book series); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Not a review, and I do my QPQs oldest first so would not get to this any time soon (but would not object to any other editor doing so in the meantime); our article for 'culchie' suggests that 'culchie' "usually has a pejorative meaning". Is there a reason it is being used in the hook?--Launchballer 10:13, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough and long enough. Information is sourced and neutral. Earwig highlights quotations and names, so is plagiarism free. Hooks are cited. In terms of interest, I can see how if you're familiar with all the terms used in them, then they are interesting, however I'm not and if I found them a little difficult to discern, others might too. I wonder whether there's some re-wording to just help readers a little more? Lajmmoore (talk) 08:37, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

@Bogger and Lajmoore: I'm not sure if I'm getting the context right, but maybe this works?

ALT2: ... that the Aisling novel series, based on a character archetype discussed in a Facebook group, was described by TheJournal.ie as a "publishing phenomenon"?

ALT3 ... that the Aisling novel series is based on a character archetype elaborated upon by users of a Facebook group?

ALT3 might require a rewording or clarification in the article, but I think there's potential in the "novel is based on a Facebook group" angle specifically, less so with the "publishing phenomenon" angle. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:35, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer and Lajmmoore: Ping due to missing mention above/typo. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:36, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Narutolovehinata5, maybe ALT3a ... that the Aisling novel series is based on a character archetype further developed by users of a Facebook group?

What do you think Bogger, Launchballer? Lajmmoore (talk) 15:13, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

ALT3 checks out.--Launchballer 10:04, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Y looks like we're OK now now with ALT3 Lajmmoore (talk) 12:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
