Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- The source provided does not explicitly identify the man in the photo as Mutch McKay's husband, which is a bit of a concern for me (it treads just a bit into WP:SYNTH territory in my eyes with the one provided). The source does not even mention the individual by name, nor does she get mentioned in the article either.
| QPQ: Done. |
Overall: 
Looking further, the article that does mention that is the Jan 7th Stuff article. I feel like there could be some potential improvement with the hook too, since I feel like a hook that simply discusses Mutch McKay's husband (potentially diminishing her) could be a bit of a wasted potential considering her body of work. It doesn't entirely draw one in to clicking the article. Potentially an alternative hook that could be provided that discusses her body of work is possible, though I am open for discussion, but at the moment I have some unease with the hook.

- I feel as if with a DYK it doesn't matter too much whether it is about her or her husband. I do think that including her husband would make a much more interesting hook, but I agree with your sentiment. Here's ALT1:
- "... that Jessica Mutch McKay hosted debates between the leaders of New Zealand's two major political parties?"

- @Ornithoptera: Is this hook approved? If not, what needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 19:57, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Apologies, I got a bit sidetracked. I would say the former point is more interesting at the end of the day, but it is definitely a shame that the former hook focuses more on her husband rather than her herself. It can't be helped at the end of the day but both are serviceable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ornithoptera (talk • contribs) 04:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
