General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article is new enough, long enough, neutral and well sourced. No copyvio issues, and qpq done. The hook is cited and interesting, but I think it'd be hookier if it was shorter. BuySomeApples (talk) 00:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

  While ALT1b is shorter, I think I miss the quirky part about a milkshake company also supplying milk to a military. ALT1b doesn't make it clear that they supplied milk and instead makes it vague on what exactly they supplied. In addition, I also found it interesting that the brand was largely discontinued in the 1970s and was revived decades later: maybe an ALT based on that could also be proposed?

I like the first hook best, myself. North America1000 22:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Northamerica1000: Would it also be alright for you to propose alternate hooks about either the brand being dormant for decades, or the reason for the brand's original discontinuation was because its factory was demolished to make way for the expansion of the diplomatic district?

@BuySomeApples: Would it be alright for me to approve the original hook? I think the original's hookier than the newer one even though it's longer. (Re-ping due to a misspelling in my original comment.) Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:28, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
The brand was never entirely discontinued; a small number of Keventers outlets continued to exist, run by a few of its remaining distributors. It is somewhat interesting that the brand was revived, but I prefer my original hook atop over this notion. North America1000 06:23, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Narutolovehinata5: that's no problem at all! BuySomeApples (talk) 07:59, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Theleekycauldron: Personally I'd disagree. I found it cute that a milkshake company would contribute milk products to a military, a context that ALT1b lacks. Vague hooks are great when they work but I don't think this is one of those cases. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:45, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Narutolovehinata5: Aighty then, sounds good :) theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 23:22, 3 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Alt1b is too generic. I still like the original hook best. Cheers, North America1000 14:46, 5 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
