A fact from Deborah Archer appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 February 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I agree about leaving the page here but keeping Deborah N. Archer as a search term. So far it’s looking like that’s what we’ll do just by default. Don’t worry, it’s pretty common on Wikipedia for things not to get an official closure because everyone feels ok leaving it as is, so it doesn’t always need to be said formally. A formal close is mainly necessary as part of resolving disagreement. Innisfree987 (talk) 15:51, 14 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Everything checks out, and the hook is interesting. The article is free of close paraphrasing on the basis of spot checks. The two hooks are basically the same, but I think that the first hook is more punchy. Nick-D (talk) 08:57, 7 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
