"QT was conceived to market an energy drink" -- wow! Talk about having your kid's life all planned out! EEng (talk) 01:21, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Haha, I guess I've been working on this so long that I didn't even notice that. Would it be clearer to say "the concept for pop singer QT" instead? hinnk (talk) 04:20, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Well, I think you should bring in the fact that QT isn't a person, but a persona taken on by a performer. EEng (talk) 21:39, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Here are some alternatives. I'd lean toward ALT2 simply because when I was looking at the reference, it's more about "Hey QT" than the QT persona. hinnk (talk) 06:52, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that the persona for pop singer QT came as a way to market an energy drink of the same name?

ALT2 ... that the debut single by pop singer QT was conceived to market an energy drink of the same name?

Full review needed; struck original hook due to objections noted above. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:53, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Article meets new and length criteria, within policy. Hooks are both short, though I think ALT2 is closer to the wording in the article itself, both are clearly supported by the citation. Only thing I see missing is the QPQ. 1bandsaw (talk) 18:07, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

QPQ is Snoqualmie Falls Hydroelectric Plant. hinnk (talk) 20:09, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
