"World's Tallest Politician" looks awkward (why the need for caps?) Otherwise the article is new and long enough, and the hook is definitely interesting and cited in-line. No copyvio indicated. Awaiting QPQ Kingoflettuce (talk) 08:03, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kingoflettuce, the caps are because Guinness World Records treats it as a proper noun. You can check the sources, they all capitalize the three word phrase. We could add quotation marks, or word it differently. QPQ is provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:04, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Think of tallest man, oldest person, etc. It just doesn't seem right, and check out GWR's own websote here (https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/tallest-politician) We could word it so that it says what it says—he's literally the tallest politician, nothing else to it!! But I'll leave that to whoever approves the hook, this will probably resolve itself before publication. Kingoflettuce (talk) 03:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
