Article is new, long enough, and well-sourced; hook(s) are interesting and under 200 characters; ALT hook verified from online source, AGF for original hook. No other issues. Sasata (talk) 19:13, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
- There is one problem - the original hook cannot be used as it goes against rule C6. An article involving a work of fiction has to have a hook which involves the real world. Unless the nom can replace it, ALT will have to be used. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 11:02, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- No objections, naturally. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 13:37, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- The original hook does not violate that rule, which is intended to prevent hooks such as ... that a woman arranged a fake police raid on her husband's weekly poker game to cure him of pokeritis? The original hook, in saying what a film is about, does involve the real world. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:12, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Not what I heard from BlueMoonset over here. So which is it? Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 19:11, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- There is minimal real-world involvement here, but I think it's enough. "1912 short film" makes it perfectly clear that this is a work of fiction, and that the events are fictional, and that this film was released in 1912. That's the real world right there. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:57, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
