- ALT1: ... that the Love Island 8 contestant Tasha Ghouri spent a week in early 2024 guarding dictionaries? Source: as above, plus https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a46594851/love-island-tasha-ghouri-countdown/ for her being on Countdown and http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Countdown for her role on Countdown being traditionally called 'Guardian of the Dictionaries'

Source: https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/love-island-tasha-ghouri-ebay-b2142950.html for ebay, https://underlinesmagazine.com/2023/08/15/ann-summers-launches-luminescent-collection/ for ann summers, https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/showbiz-news/itv-love-islands-tasha-ghouri-25083042 for l'oréal, https://virginradio.co.uk/entertainment/74807/love-islands-tasha-ghouri-fronts-cadburys-campaign-to-encourage-bsl-lessons for cadbury's - although I suppose this hook relies on knowing that the first three are broadly fashion related and cadbury's chocolate

- Comment: I very much prefer ALT1, for no reason other than I am a big fan of Countdown.
Moved to mainspace by Launchballer (talk). Self-nominated at 11:57, 1 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Tasha Ghouri; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The article is new enough and long enough. I didn't detect any close paraphrasing, and the hooks are all cited inline and verified. I note the nominator's preference for ALT1, but given it seems more niche compared to the other hooks (Countdown, which I've never heard of before, may not be recognizable to non-UK or non-European readers), my preference is any of the other hooks. I do note that ALT3 is slightly inaccurate: the article and source say that Camilla was a participant in Ghouri's class, not that Ghouri directly taught her how to dance, so if we go with ALT3, a minor revision may be necessary. The reason why I am not approving this yet, hence the question mark icon, is I wonder if additional hooks could be proposed here regarding Ghouri's deafness and her recoding videos with her "deaf" voice getting praise.

- I was just about to propose "that Queen Camilla once took part in a dance class by Tasha Ghouri", before actually googling "tasha ghouri camilla", and it turns out she simply observed it as opposed to taking part, and given that watching Strictly is probably enough of a clue I'm minded to look elsewhere for hooks.
- ALT4: ... that the Love Island 8 contestant Tasha Ghouri went viral in early 2024 after uploading a Get Ready With Me video to TikTok using her "deaf accent"? (Source says 'recently', actual video was January 2024.)--Launchballer 06:12, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Since Get Ready With Me doesn't have an article and other readers may not be familiar with it without looking it up (I had never heard of the trend before, but that could just me not being into TikTok), maybe an ALT4a with that mention removed could also work? It doesn't seem essential to the fact. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:40, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- Get Ready With Me is clearly notable, so I could write an article about it. ALT4a: ... that the Love Island 8 contestant Tasha Ghouri went viral in early 2024 after uploading a video to TikTok using her "deaf accent"?--Launchballer 22:57, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Okay, let's go with ALT4a then to be on the safe side. As much as the nominator has expressed a preference for ALT1, I am not approving it for the reasons I discussed above. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:47, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
