Created by Skyshifter (talk). Self-nominated at 13:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Taubaté pregnancy hoax; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ-exempt. What a fascinating story! I've given the article some attention to make its English less obviously translated (e.g. pregnant with, not pregnant of). The hook facts check out and are in the article, and I do not see any textual issues. Proposing a reworded ALT0: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

ALT0a: ... that Taubaté became the "city of lies" after a 2012 pregnancy hoax?

@Sammi Brie: thanks! I tend to be not very good with translations, so thank you for copyediting. I support the reworded hook. Skyshiftertalk 19:02, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
