The full review will be to follow, but I don't think ALT1 is acceptable as I don't really see what's "ironic" about it. As for ALT0, it possibly works but it might need to be rephrased somewhat as I find the wording to be a little awkward. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:21, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

I guess the irony is that a boy was accepted into a college of men. SpinningSpark 22:46, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Not very clear either way, "men" is a general term and includes "boys". If this will push through, ALT0 is probably the best option. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:54, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, I got really busy, but now I'm doing the full review. So the article meets the newness and length requirements. I wasn't able to find any copyright violations, and the hooks' facts are cited inline. They're mostly sourced to Spanish sources, but they were verified by Google Translate, and in any case ALT0 also has an English source attached to it. Image is in the public domain and is clear at a small size, and a QPQ has been done. Approving only ALT0 (ALT1 is rejected for its opaqueness, and ALT0 is more interesting anyway), though I would suggest either you or the promoter reword it slightly.
