I'm not sure how well-known Hughes or Plath are in the poetry scene (admittedly I know little about famous poets) so I'm not sure if ALT0 as is going to be "hooky" enough for most of our readerbase, but taking a look at the article a possible ALT hook could be to mention that a poem was written by them regarding said wedding night.

Very well known I think but your idea is good:

ALT1: ... that Ted Hughes later wrote a poem about his wedding night with Sylvia Plath in London's Rugby Street? Philafrenzy (talk) 11:18, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sylvia Plath is EXTREMELY well-known, and that's all there is to say. I prefer ALT0 for being succinct and hooky. This article is new enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Images are freely licensed. ALT0 hook ref verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 23:33, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just also chiming in to say that Sylvia Plath is extremely well-known. Her book The Bell Jar alone has been taught as part of school curriculum. I will also say that I believe as long as someone is notable enough for an article, that is good enough to add to a hook. SL93 (talk) 03:34, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
