Vince Wolek
[edit]- ... that .... actor Antony Ponzini originated the role of Vince Wolek on the 1968 debut episode of the American soap opera One Life to Live, appearing on the series through 1975?

The article is mostly plot summary and the only sources are show episodes (to cite in-universe information). None of the out-of-universe information is cited. On top of that, the hook is not "hooky" (hooks that say "did you know that X is a Y" are rarely interesting). rʨanaɢ (talk) 01:33, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Changed hook and added additional out-of-universe citations. FrickFrack 18:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'll let some other reviewer give a second opinion. As for me, I'm not inclined to change my decision. First of all, the hook is still boring ("did you know that some actor played some role from some date to some other date" is not particularly special), and my glance at the article suggests that there isn't any particularly good "hooky" material. Secondly, the article is still very sparse on out-of-universe information. Your edits since my review only involved piling in some references at the end of a paragraph--it's not really clear what information those references are supposed to be supporting, and in any case I'm unsure what the current consensus is about featuring DYK articles that are mostly just in-universe content. rʨanaɢ (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, scratch my last comment, this definitely doesn't meet the criteria. The whole plot section is copied from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wolek_family&oldid=464047584#Vince, where it existed before this was made into its own article. Thus, only the lede and the Casting section are actually new content. rʨanaɢ (talk) 19:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
