This Arab Is Queer

(
)

Created by FuzzyMagma (talk). Self-nominated at 01:00, 2 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/This Arab Is Queer; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Oppose promotion the article as it has far too much self-sourced content, and that would need to be resolved first. The proposed hook also reads as promotional and uninteresting to a broad audience. (t · c) buidhe 11:33, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
this is how articles about literary work is written. In an analytical framework that doesn’t require citation about the plot as its written in the book itself. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Novels. The hook is referenced but alternatives are welcomed FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:43, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
Comment: I think the hook is interesting. And per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction#Plot summaries of individual works, "Because works of fiction are primary sources in their articles, basic descriptions of their plots are acceptable without reference to an outside source." That said, the "Content" section is very long (much longer than the rest of the article put together), so I can understand Buidhe's concern. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:36, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
@Mx. Granger: What about now? I have removed 50% of that section (if you dont include images captions) FuzzyMagma (talk) 14:28, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
Looks more reasonable to me now – thanks. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 21:05, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: even if it is quoted? the example given in MOS:PEACOCK seems to support quoted "peacocking" FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
We usually don't italicize stuff in the hook. And yes, even if it's quoted, care must be made to ensure that such words aren't written in Wikivoice, like they are currently. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:20, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: let me then think of alternatives then FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:24, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Long enough, new enough. All paragraphs requiring at least one reference do so. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. I propose either rewording the hook so that "groundbreaking", complete with quotes, is the last word of the hook, or taking out that part of the hook altogether (everything between "is" and "that" inclusive). And I would like to see a QPQ out of you, as you have more than five credits.--Launchballer 09:06, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
@Launchballer::
  • And I will get few QPQ done ASAP. Have some issues fixing my laptop but will do it soon FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:33, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
ALT2 ... that the LGBTQ+ anthology This Arab Is Queer features eighteen queer Arab writers? --Launchballer 21:05, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
  • ALT2 Works for me, done with (but not closed) the QPQ ..FuzzyMagma (talk) 23:45, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Alt2 approved --evrik (talk) 16:17, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
