The article is well-written, well-sourced and long and new enough. The subject is interesting and no Copy vio was observed. The hook is interesting and is supported a by a reliable source immediately coming after it in the text. However the body of the article would better be sectioned as per MOS:SO and MOS:SECTIONS. --Mhhossein talk 06:14, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

- Kingoflettuce: Can you also add more lines from P.88 of this source which you have used? I believe there are useful portions regrading the Christ. --Mhhossein talk 02:57, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Mhhossein: based on my reading, the "useful portions" refer to the 1933 "Magician" poem so I don't think it has the most relevance here. Kingoflettuce (talk) 03:02, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- It has still merit to be included since the 1931 poet is compared with the 1933 work. Thoughts? --Mhhossein talk 03:07, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Kingoflettuce: For you. --Mhhossein talk 04:03, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- Seems excessive and outside of the DYK criteria, that's my thought. Kingoflettuce (talk) 14:22, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Mhossein: Add: you can look up any article on a poem or film or book, etc. When "influences" are talked about, it's only worth mentioning the points of similarity between poem A and B. In this instance, the only thing similar between this poem and "Magician" is the allusion to Christ as a magician. Anything else is excessive/unnecessary. A third-party opinion would be most welcome, and I'm happy to stand corrected, but I don't think so. Moreover, I don't think it's part of the DYK criteria to be discussing this--it's far from "essential" to a reader's understanding of the poem. Kingoflettuce (talk) 22:47, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Kingoflettuce: I did not receive your ping due to the misspelled username. Anyway, I don't think this is mandatory for a DYK, too. It was a suggestion. --Mhhossein talk 11:46, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
We can go with the proposed hook. --Mhhossein talk 11:46, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
