• Long enough, interesting (I prefer ALT1), sourcing is good, images are good. QPQ check doesn't show any DYKs by the nominator, so not needed. Good to go! Artem.G (talk) 16:12, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

• Hook still needs more work. It is attention-getting and explained in the article, but maybe unnecessarily inflammatory as well. Cielquiparle (talk) 15:51, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

• I don't have any fundamental problem with the hook (WP:NOTCENSORED), but the lede of the article itself is bizarre. The first sentence tells us where and when it happens, and that the participants drink lemonade. Surely what kind of beverage they drink is not such an important thing that it should be in the first sentence, before the antisemitic origins are even mentioned. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:10, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

• Thanks, @RoySmith: and @Cielquiparle:. The tradition of drinking the Leonese lemonade (a regional variant) in Leon is literally called "Matar/Matando judios". It's mainstream and part of the city's Holy Week celebrations, with the anti-Semitic undertones and history of the tradition's names not necessarily appreciated by modern celebrants. Open to any necessary suggestions to amend the hook, such as adding a clause that the tradition is the drinking of the lemonade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Longhornsg (talk • contribs) 18:01, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

• @Artem.G, Cielquiparle, and RoySmith: Frankly I think this is more than a hook issue. I'm not sure the article in its current form passes WP:DYKCRIT #4d, neutrality. This is an obviously controversial topic, and the article barely makes mention of that. There is a single anonymous mention in the lede of some local Jews finding the event offensive—immediately dismissed as invalid, until I reworded it—and then later a mention of efforts 100 years ago to abandon the name, although without elaboration. If you Google the term, on the other hand, the majority of coverage is about the name, much of it negative. There are times when an article can be non-neutral simply by omission, and this strikes me as one of them. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 23:14, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
