Ainsley Hayes
- ... that The West Wing faced criticism for a scene in which Ainsley Hayes defends a sexist and objectifying remark made at her? Source: Heisler 2010i, Webster 2020 (p. 160)
- ALT1: ... that the voracious appetite of West Wing character Ainsley Hayes was characterized by one fan as a "Quasi-Manic Pixie Dream Girl Quirk Trait™"? source
- ALT2: ... that The West Wing's Ainsley Hayes shares her voracious appetite with her portrayer, Emily Procter?

- Comment: I'm a little torn. On the one hand, there's the serious, down-to-earth main hook, which if it's ran, I'd like to be during Women's History Month. On the other hand, I really love goofy hooks, and I did get a reasonably good goofy with ALT1. So... I'll come back to this one. In the mean time, finally back here!

Pretty interesting! Nice to see a character article that isn't an extended plot summary. I think it's almost good to go, but I see some refs are linked to "Paxton 2003", which seems to be a mistake as I see no such work in the bibliography, so please fix that. I would also recommend fleshing out the lead a bit more. Maybe link Manic Pixie Dream Girl in ALT1? Overall, great work! MSG17 (talk) 00:58, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
- @MSG17: Ah, that should be Paxton 2005! I'll flesh out the lead over the next couple of days, since I'm taking this one to GAN. In the meantime, I also linked MPDG in ALT1. Cheers, and thanks for the review! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 01:12, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
