• ... that in 1920, Ana Kansky (pictured) became the first person to be awarded a doctoral degree by the newly established University of Ljubljana?
  • ALT1:... that Ana Kansky (pictured) earned money for tuition fee at the University of Vienna by selling apricots in order to bypass a promise made to her grandmother that she would not be sent to college?

• The article is new enough and long enough, is neutral, and free of copyright violations, apparently. Inline citations have been used wherever required, thereby complying with WP:V, though they are primarily non-English. The proposed hook is short enough, and interesting enough. Perhaps, it would help if the nom could provide an English translation of the relevant lines from the foreign language source that they have used to support the information contained in the hook. Having said that, it's a well written article and deserves the promotion, provided the QPQ is done. Regards, MBlaze Lightning (talk) 14:41, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

  @MBlaze Lightning: thank you. I added an English-language source to support the first hook; it's paywalled, but the freely accessible part of the intro supports the claim. As for ALT1, the book Pozabljena polovica by Šelih et al. (now ref. 3) says on p. 303:

  Anka si je želela študirati kemijo na Dunaju. [...] Njen oče, ki ni hotel prelomiti obljube, ki jo je dal svoji materi na smrtni postelji, da ne bo poslal Anke študirat, ji je predlagal, naj sama zasluži denar za študij in organizira obiranje marelic iz nasadov za graščino in njihovo prodajo v Trst in Gorico. Svojo nalogo je uspešno izpolnila in že jeseni odpotovala na Dunaj

  Translated:

  Anka [Ana's nickname] wanted to study chemistry in Vienna. [...] Her father, not wishing to break his promise to his mother on her deathbed that he won't send Anka to college, suggested her to raise money for study herself and organize picking apricots from the plantation behind the manor and their sale to Trieste and Gorizia. She successfully completed her task and set off to Vienna that same autumn.

  I slightly prefer the first hook, though. — Yerpo ^Eh? 08:57, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks. Now just complete the mandatory QPQ review, and this will be good to go. MBlaze Lightning (talk) 11:52, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
