*'''Comment''': I'm seeing this because in my capacity as a member of [[WP:LGBT]], it turned up in my dailyish review of [[User:AlexNewArtBot/LGBTSearchResult]]. I agree with the reviewer's assessment of the article; representations of homosexuality in non-Western cultural output are definitely the kind of thing we need more of on Wikipedia, so in principle I like this very much. That said, the chosen hook ("He was gay") strikes me as the kind of thing that would work better if we were choosing April Fool's Day DYKs (where there's a little more latitude to aim for funny) than it does as a normal everyday selection. So if this were to go ahead right now, I'd prefer to see a more substantive and genuinely informative hook rather than a pun on the protagonist's surname — although I'd have no objection to putting the existing hook on the back burner as a potential April Fool's Day entry.

The result was: promoted by SSTflyer 16:59, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Cut Sleeve

Created by Kingoflettuce (talk). Self-nominated at 14:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg The current hook seems to imply that God is a homosexual, because of the capitalized "H" on "He". I'm not sure if this is a mistake on the author's part or a deliberate attempt to fool viewers, but you can count on scores of people being rather offended by it. Subsequently, I'm not really comfortable with these kinds of hooks going up on the main page. Other than that: I don't have access to the books, so I can't check for copyvio's, but the article has enough content and seems to be adequately inline sourced.—♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 17:27, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
  • To be fair, in this particular instance "He" isn't even functioning as a pronoun — it's the actual proper name of the story's protagonist. An alternative way around the ambiguity, if this gets promoted to actual DYK, would be to use the character's full name "He Shican" instead of just "He", although in reality I suspect that the ambiguity ("He was gay? He who?") was in and of itself the primary purpose of this nomination. Bearcat (talk) 00:31, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
