General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - see comments
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Edwardx: Nice article, but two things. 1: I can't find where in the source it says that Peter Strausfeld made the posters for each film, just that he held the job for 33 years. 2: I may be wrong but what makes travel top country mag a reliable source. if these two things are addressed than I can approve the nomination.

At 222 characters, that's way above the 200 character limit and thus is unsuitable. The hook will need to be cut down significantly. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 18:53, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, schoolboy error. Have trimmed it to 197, as ALT1a. Edwardx (talk) 18:48, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's still on the long side (and guidelines give reviewers the discretion to decline hooks slightly below the 200 character limit). Maybe that can be made even more concise? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:16, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Edwardx: Would you be fine with this simplification?
ALT1b ... that after fleeing the Nazis in 1938, Peter Strausfeld befriended the manager of London's top art house cinema and designed their posters until his 1980 death?

Thank you, Narutolovehinata5. Yes, that is quite okay. Trying to cram too much into a hook is usually a mistake! Edwardx (talk) 23:12, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for the delayed response: @Onegreatjoke: ALT1b is ready for review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 06:43, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 19:53, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
