• ... that Real Life, Brandon Taylor's debut novel, is an American campus novel about a gay, Black doctoral student in a mostly White Ph.D. program?

  • ALT1:... that ...? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Helen Gardner (critic).
• Comment: I was trying to get the "Queer reading for Pride Month" in there, but ran out of characters. My hook is a bit matter of fact, and maybe some of you have a better idea.

• This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:10, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

• Returned from prep. We don't put names of people who don't have a Wikipedia article on the main page. Without it, this would obviously not satisfy Rule C6. Would you like to propose a different hook, or perhaps write a stub for Brandon Taylor? Yoninah (talk) 17:55, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

• Yoninah, I don't understand this at all, but see Brandon Taylor (writer). Drmies (talk) 21:49, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

• Well, this is what we do. I did something similar for a Pixar short film by a first-time artist whom I was trying to mention on the main page. Thank you for writing the stub. Here is a tweaked hook:
• ALT1: ... that Real Life, Brandon Taylor's debut novel, is an American campus novel about a gay, black doctoral student in a mostly white Ph.D. program?
• ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Cwmhiraeth. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:12, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
