- The current hook is wordy and difficult to read, so here's a reword:
- ALT1 ... that Maita Sanchez, who served as mayor of Pagsanjan, Laguna from 2010 to 2019, had an acting career before entering politics?
- Given how it's not that uncommon for actors to become politicians (and the Philippines has many, many examples of this), I will leave it to another editor to see if the fact meets WP:DYKINT. Narutolovehinata5 (talk 路 contributions) 10:46, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
I've given this some thought, and unfortunately there are two issues with the nomination. One is that Sanchez being a former actress is not uncommon or unusual in the context of the Philippines. Second, there's currently nothing else in the article that would work as a hook. With that in mind, the nomination is marked for closure as simply not being a fit for DYK at this time.

- @Narutolovehinata5: I think being a former Actor and mayor is normal in the Philippines, but being a mayor for 9 years is pretty unusual, can you maybe rethink this?

- Being a mayor in the Philippines for 9 years or even longer is far from unusual; in fact, it's actually the norm in many places, especially with entrenched political dynasties. Like a politician serves three terms, then swaps out a position with a relative, then returns to their original post for another three terms.

- An alternative hook could be: ... that Maita Sanchez, a mother of four and the wife of former governor E. R. Ejercito, endured three miscarriages while moving from acting to serving as mayor of Pagsanjan for nine years?
- Maita Sanchez was rescued from AfD and AFAIK, I have almost used all the sources online. New information may be available in offline sources or local papers, which I will not be able to access. So, this nomination can be considered withdrawn or declined if the alternate hook is also not interesting. Jeraxmoira馃悏 (talk) 14:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Although arguably interesting, I can't help but feel that this new hook might fail WP:DYKBLP or at least its spirit. Having a miscarriage, let alone three of them, is a deeply personal and depressing experience and I'm not comfortable with a hook that focuses on that aspect.
