Allan Singleton-Wood[edit]
... that Allan Singleton-Wood hosted the first radio performance of Dusty Springfield's early band, The Springfields?

New enough and long enough. The hook is more specific than the article which states "Singleton-Wood gave The Springfields vocal group featuring Dusty Springfield its first radio broadcast in Wales." The references are offline so I am unsure whether this was the first radio broadcast anywhere or just the first in Wales. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:09, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
- Note: I'm leaving a note about this on WikiDan61's talk page, which I hope will get this moving after almost a month. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:07, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- Given Cwmhiraeth's caveats, I would think that only a slight hook modification would be needed to bring the hook in line with the article, by adding "in Wales" after "performance":
- ALT1: ... that Allan Singleton-Wood hosted the first radio performance in Wales of Dusty Springfield's early band, The Springfields?
- Does that work for you? I take it that the original source only gives the Wales info, and does not make the claim that this was the first-ever radio performance for The Springfields... BlueMoonset (talk) 04:20, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
I approve the hook modification and consider the article passes all the other DYK criteria. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:43, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
