    • Comment: Frankly, I don't really love either of these hooks, so I'm happy to accept suggestions - but please try to keep the vampires for the Halloween theme.

Created by Premeditated Chaos (talk). Self-nominated at 05:35, 23 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Hunger (Alexander McQueen collection); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • New enough and long enough, with no DYK ruleouts. A QPQ has definitely been done :) I think ALT1 is a workable hook, and don't see anything obviously stronger, so I'm fine to approve it. Vaticidalprophet 13:14, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
@Vaticidalprophet and Premeditated Chaos: I sort of liked ALT0 but will promote the approved as verified. Lightburst (talk) 17:39, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
