The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Article covers all the necessary criteria for DYK. Confirmed QPQ not required (user has 4 previous credits but first time nominating themselves). Happy to pass this one. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 19:30, 20 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
theleekycauldron Possibly, but that is the context. There seems to be nothing much to work with beyond the controversy so I suggest closing the nomination if nothing else can be found soon. SL93 (talk) 02:19, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
ALT3 ... that the 2015 "Woman to Woman" campaign included a "Pink Bus" that was mocked by critics as sexist and patronizing?
SL93, theleekycauldron, I was surprised how little there was to the article beyond the critics; not even an examination of whether it was effective in the constituencies that the bus visited. (Is there a reason that ALT3 has "Pink Bus" in quotes, rather than just a regular lowercase pink bus? (Harmon acknowledged that it was pink, according to the article.) If you think that any of the hooks can fly, then a reviewer should be requested. If not, then this should probably be closed; the original nominator has not posted here in a month and a half.

the article doesn't really make it clear what the debate actually is, or who said it to be magenta or fuchsia. Could more context be added? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
Hook issues remain, and the nominator has not responded to concerns raised despite pings and talk page messages as well as activity elsewhere. Marking for closure as abandoned. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
ALT3 needs a review. The nominator has also added new sections since the first review. Flibirigit (talk) 02:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
ALT3 - the3 best imo - & extra sections (a response to complaints above) are ok. GTG (hope it's ok to butt in). Johnbod (talk) 02:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
