5x expanded by SD0001 (talk). Self-nominated at 08:36, 3 October 2021 (UTC).
The article was expanded enough in time and has no copyright violations. The hook is directly cited. A QPQ has been completed. This is approved. SL93 (talk) 21:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)- NOTE: The Booker Prize winner will be announced on November 3. If this is making it to the Main Page after that date, the hook will have to be revised. – SD0001 (talk) 10:39, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
- @SD0001 and SL93: this is a work of fiction—the hook has to be out of universe, no? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 21:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron The hook is out of universe. The prize is certainly not fictional. The rule isn't that nothing can be in-universe, but rather that it is related to out of universe in some way. SL93 (talk) 00:08, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- "C6: If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way." SL93 (talk) 00:13, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron Any issues? Such hooks have been promoted in the past. SL93 (talk) 21:32, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- @SL93: no worries, this one's good! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 21:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron Thank you. SL93 (talk) 21:35, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
