• Could we jazz up the hook?
• ALT1: ... that the priest who heard the last confession of Texas beauty queen Irene Garza is the only suspect in her 1960 killing?
• ALT2: ... that the priest who heard the last confession of Texas beauty queen Irene Garza is suspected of killing her? Yoninah (talk) 18:53, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
• I thought about that but wasn't sure about the BLP unduly negative thing. I'll defer to your discretion on that. Thanks for looking at it. EricEnfermero (Talk) 21:42, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

• Well, he has been arrested and is going to trial. Calling on another reviewer to look at the alts. Yoninah (talk) 22:09, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
• I prefer the original hook, as it is focused on the case itself rather than in either of the people involved, who are otherwise not notable. Cambalachero (talk) 13:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

• The murder suspect is not notable??? Be that as it may, the first hook is a statement of fact, not a hook. Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

• I agree with Cambalachero that this nomination meets the DYK criteria of newness, length, neutrality and policy. The original hook is unsuitable, being a statement that A = A, and I consider both ALT1 and ALT2 are satisfactory. It is difficult to point to individual cited sentences backing up the hook facts, but they are covered by many of the sources on which the article relies. Good to go.

Pulled from prep, discussed at WT:DYK. Hook was unacceptable per WP:BLPCRIME, and article would need considerable work for the same reason before even another hook could be considered. Fram (talk) 16:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
