Dean Thompson[edit]

Created by Raintheone (talk). Self-nominated at 22:29, 26 November 2018 (UTC).

  • @Raintheone: I'm not confident with either hook: the first hook might be of interest to fans of the series but not so much to the average person, while the second hook is commonplace (it's very common for actors to seek advice from peers when preparing for roles). Can something better be proposed here? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:02, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: - Thank you for the review. We have discussed hooks before. Can you think of a different hook better suited to our broad audience? I recall you did better than I at creating a replacement on a previous DYKN.Rain the 1 15:36, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help out this time much, sorry. I would have tried proposing a suggestion here, but some of the sources in the article are paywalled and I can't access them. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:46, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5:In which case would you consider striking your comments and letting someone else review this DYK? Perhaps other editors have access to the paywall sources.Rain the 1 22:08, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
  • On further reflection, I feel that ALT1 might potentially work. According to the article, it was the actor's first television role, so maybe a hook combining that fact and ALT1 might be a possible option here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:11, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
@Raintheone: Thoughts? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: I think it would be okay. I have added that it was his first television role to the ALT 1 hook. Thank you for coming back to this DYKN Narutolovehinata5. I appreciate your help.Rain the 1 12:45, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Sounds good. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 15:14, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

  • I think I've done what I can here, requesting a new reviewer take over here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:12, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Well-written article and properly sourced. ALT1 is OK and cited (his "first ever" claim is cited by Source #1 in the article). The 40.1% close paraphrasing match is because of the quotes used in the article. Good to go. MX () 01:28, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
