This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts for the various hooks are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. I am also suggesting ALT0a as being more accurate and exciting than ALT0. So we are just waiting for the QPQ to be done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:39, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
- ALT0a:... that Start the Week presenter Kenneth Robinson once disgusted Pamela Stephenson so much that she poured a jug of water down his neck?
Thank you. This is good to go with any of the hooks. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

editIs there any information about what he actually said about bananas? It's the DYK hook, but there's no actual depth to it in the article (or the ref supporting it). pauli133 (talk) 00:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
