*{{u|Yoninah}}, I agree ALT1 is less interesting than the main hook, but that would not be difficult. The main hook is surely okay. “C6: If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way.” But the subject is Leal Douglas, who is '''neither''' of those things, she was a real person. Even if the subject had been ''The Beetle'', which it isn’t, the real world would still be involved, because Leal Douglas is a real person playing a role in the filming of a work of fiction. So C6 is not relevant to this hook, which is the strongest one there is. [[User:Moonraker|Moonraker]] ([[User talk:Moonraker|talk]]) 08:49, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

  • Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough, and thoroughly sourced. Earwig found no copyvio. QPQ done. Offline sources accepted per WP:AGF. Hook properly sourced, within rules; I find the main hook much more interesting than ALT1. Image looks ok at low sizes and PD claims appear valid. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:31, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but just telling the plotline does not satisfy Rule C6. And ALT1 is not as interesting. Yoninah (talk) 01:24, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Oops, forgot that rule, sorry. Yes, I agree. We need a hook that is hooky and relates to the real world. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:09, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
  • Template:U, I agree ALT1 is less interesting than the main hook, but that would not be difficult. The main hook is surely okay. “C6: If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way.” But the subject is Leal Douglas, who is neither of those things, she was a real person. Even if the subject had been The Beetle, which it isn’t, the real world would still be involved, because Leal Douglas is a real person playing a role in the filming of a work of fiction.
