• Done. --evrik ^(talk) 15:24, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

• @Venkat TL and Evrik: Wouldn't a hook covering folk tale plot fall afoul of WP:DYKSG#C6? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 22:21, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

• In the real world, it is a Hungarian folktale.--evrik ^(talk) 22:34, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

• • • I'm not understanding? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 23:43, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
      • evrik, theleekycauldron has pointed a genuine issue with the DYK that I had missed. What they are saying is that the hook is about fiction without real life implications. This is not allowed according to the consensus that currently exists on DYKRULES. I have updated my review table to reflect this. Can you suggest another DYK that is about real life implication of the topic? Venkat TL (talk) 06:59, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

• I think that the words Hungarian folktale tie it to the real world, but here is an alternate:

• Alt1 "... that the Hungarian folktale Two Pieces of Nuts, is similar to other folktales that feature endangered children who return to tell their story.

• I promoted the original per nom. I am a pretty strong advocate of not having plot-only hooks (for the typical reasons) but as folk stories are at least pseudo-historical, I would accept this based on that. Kingsif (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
• Per Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Prep 7: Two Pieces of Nuts (nom) I have pulled the hook for now over concerns that the hook doesn't meet the "needs a real-world connection" criterion. A new hook may be needed here. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

How about going super obscure, like one of these?

• Alt2 ... that Two Pieces of Nuts was collected in Baranya?
• Alt3 ... that István Banó found Two Pieces of Nuts in Baranya?

The only other thing that comes to mind would be a hook about the ATU classification, but that feels like a reach. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 04:33, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

• @Ezlev, Narutolovehinata5, Kingsif, Theleekycauldron, and Venkat TL: --evrik ^(talk) 14:04, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

• I think my main concern with both hooks is that neither hook makes sense unless you're familiar with the geography of Hungary, which I imagine would be most of our readership. With that said, I can at least understand the opinion of "it's vague on purpose since it could tempt people to read more", so I will bow to consensus on this one.

• I also think that the second suggestion is misleading because the article uses the term "collected" rather than "found". I think the second suggestion would be a better option than the first if "found" was changed to "collected". Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:44, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

• Alt3a ... that István Banó collected Two Pieces of Nuts in Baranya?
