... that in the 2019 Hong Kong local elections, university student and pro-democracy activist Jordan Pang defeated an incumbent pro-Beijing politician?Source: "By winning the Sai Wan constituency last night, a fourth-year politics and public administration student took out one of the biggest political scalps of the election: Horace Cheung. Mr Cheung is the vice-chairman of the DAB - Hong Kong's largest pro-Beijing party. Jordan Pang made his name with his articulacy and passionate advocacy of the protesters' cause as leader of the Hong Kong University Students' Union. He defeated Mr Cheung, a 45-year-old solicitor who had represented Sai Wan since 2011, by almost 800 votes: a man who was known as a "triple councillor" having held positions in the district council, Legislative Council and Executive Council."

Please remember that a QPQ is still outstanding. It has been over a week since the nomination. Flibirigit (talk) 02:38, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
- Flibirigit Sorry about that, I had reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Cardigan (Taylor Swift song) but forgot to place it here. Corachow (talk) 10:28, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
thank you for adding the QPQ, a full review is still needed here. Flibirigit (talk) 15:07, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in English-language sources. QPQ done.- What is the source for the chart? Please add it.
- The hook is all right, but I wonder if it could be more punchy? It seems more hooky that a young student defeated a "triple councillor". Yoninah (talk) 12:20, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- Yoninah The chart was copied from the constituency' page. I found the result on the government’s website (constituency code is A08, and he was listed as Pang Ka Ho), and this website in Chinese (click 中西區, which is the first one in the list of districts, then choose A08, he’s the third candidate on that list) has the percentage. Both sources are added, but I couldn’t find the turnout, so I removed that part from the chart.
- Also, ALT1:
... that in the 2019 Hong Kong local elections, 21-year-old university student Jordan Pang defeated an incumbent pro-Beijing "triple councillor"? - "High profile pro-Beijing politician" might also work. Corachow (talk) 13:03, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the source. I was thinking along the lines of piping the names, but a slight tweak of ALT0 with one of your new suggestions works well, written here as ALT2:
- ALT2: ... that 21-year-old university student and pro-democracy activist Jordan Pang defeated an incumbent pro-Beijing politician in the 2019 Hong Kong local elections?
ALT2 hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:56, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
