• Comment: I think I may be missing more people to credit for. Nevertheless, I don't think that's important right now. Will add more if people request deserving credentials.

• 16px Article is new enough, long enough, and well-referenced. Hooks are verified with inline references. I prefer the main hook. -Zanhe (talk) 10:39, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

• 16px Sorry I am not sure where to put this comment. For me, one of the most unusual facts about this story is that Steenkamp appeared in a reality TV show that premiered two days after her death. The fact that she started modelling at 14 and was ranked one of FHM's sexiest women in a particular year is not that remarkable to me. HelenOnline (talk) 16:38, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
  • I agree with HelenOnline - the proposed hooks are rather bland and unremarkable - they are true of literally thousands of models, but the TV show launching so soon after her death is far more remarkable. Roger (talk) 17:35, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

ALT3: ... that South African model Reeva Steenkamp appeared in the reality TV show Tropika Island of Treasure which premiered two days after her death?

Sorry I am not familiar with DYK process, please can someone put above proposed alternative hook where it should be? HelenOnline (talk) 17:39, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

There's no need to put ALTs above them. In fact, others have done that before. You'll learn better. By the way, here is another similar hook:

ALT3a: ... that, after she was killed, the South African model Reeva Steenkamp appeared posthumously in the reality television series Tropika Island of Treasure?

prefer ALT3b: ... that the South African model Reeva Steenkamp appeared posthumously in the reality television series Tropika Island of Treasure? HelenOnline (talk) 06:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

I'll notify the review about this. --George Ho (talk) 17:45, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Um, is this seriously a good idea? I did something similar last year with Gemma McCluskie and there was a lot of negative responses directed at both DYK and myself for it. I just don't think that it'll be considered to be in good taste. Miyagawa (talk) 21:15, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

That hook was about the actual death, this one is not. I don't think Steenkamp's death or "killing" should be mentioned at all. HelenOnline (talk) 06:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

• 16px All hooks are verified. I personally prefer ATL3, as it was an extraordinary decision for the TV station to air the show two days after her death, but all others are fine too. -Zanhe (talk) 12:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

• 16px What's so remarkable about being on a TV show after your death? This happens time and again. Hell, Larry Hagman is still airing on Dallas after he died. The star of Il Postino died the day after filming wrapped, and the film was released after death. This happens all the time. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 06:00, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
