  • ... that after denouncing violence and censorship in Argentina, sculptor Alberto Heredia was exiled and threatened with death by the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance? Source: Buccellato, Laura (1998). Alberto Heredia Retrospectiva. Buenos Aires: Delmiro Mendez e Hijo. pp. 108–109 https://www.ambito.com/edicion-impresa/alberto-heredia-la-memoria-del-horror-n4001279 ("en 1974, y en diciembre de ese mismo año recibió una carta de la Triple A donde le comunicaban su condena a muerte si no abandonaba "nuestra bendita patria" al día 12 de enero de 1975 "del año del Señor". Lo acusaban de ser un "activista comunista de la élite artística de la Internacional de París", "un ateo criminal" y un "vicioso homosexual y drogadicto". La carta se encuentra hoy en el archivo del artista.")

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ? Based on the sources provided I don't see the exact reason why the death squad threatened Heredia, nor does it refer to him as an "extremist"
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: No - See below
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hooks may confuse readers who aren't familiar with AAA. Just referring to it as a right-wing death squad is more obvious. (t · c) buidhe 09:47, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Buidhe: thanks for the review! The book is the one which mentions why they targeted him, not the article which is quoted. ALT1 was supposed to be kind of vague, since some readers might at first think of a different AAA. I'm OK with using a different hook, but I think it's important to link the Triple A page for context. What do you think of ALT3? I also like ALT2.
