General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:   - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Article looks good, and has just enough sources imo (although it'd be nice to see this added to). The hook is interesting and seems to be cited in the Polish sources so AGF. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:45, 25 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • @Piotrus and BuySomeApples: what cracked me up about this hook is that a polish man was christened the "vodka king of Siberia" – that'd be like if the world record for most burgers eaten in an hour was held by a Canadian. Could the hook maybe center a bit more around that? There might be a surprise factor if we don't even include that he's an entrepreneur... theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 11:31, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
FYI, I am fine with ALT hooks :P --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:54, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Piotrus, BuySomeApples, and Theleekycauldron: This is hilarious! This hook is like the conflicting trinity of Eastern-European stereotypes! You have the rich oligarch (Russian stereotype), the 'vodka king' (insert drunk Russian joke here), and to break the perfect Russian stereotype you make him Polish. Ha! That would be like if the richest businessman in the world was a random guy in Asia selling ice cream. That sounds like a headline from the Onion that would go somewhere along the lines of "POLISH BUSINESSMAN CHRISTENED "VODKA KING OF SIBERIA" FOUND DEAD IN RUSSIA, NEAR BEARS WHO SEEMED TO LIKE HIS VODKA A BIT TOO MUCH". To be honest, I would like this hook, if possible, to be placed on April Fools Day because this hook is too perfect for April Fool's Day.

  I like all of these hooks, especially ALT0a for the reasons mentioned by @Theleekycauldron and Spodle:. Hopefully this can run on April Fools! BuySomeApples (talk) 21:21, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
