- ... that Ann Corcoran has claimed that refugees are a Muslim plot to colonize the United States? Source: "The woman, Ann Corcoran, claims that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is “under the influence of a powerful Muslim supremacist group” — and that the Muslim refugees it is sending over are the vanguard of an evil plot to colonize America and subject it to a theocratic Muslim government."

Created by Thismess (talk). Self-nominated at 00:26, 9 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ann Corcoran (activist); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
article looks good, was expanded recently and is long enough. It appears to be within policy. Copyvio unlikely as most is quotes. Hook is good to go, short enough and interesting. Nomination appears to be first for nominator, so no QPQ needed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 16:21, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Thismess and Gonzo fan2007: I read this carefully to see if we had any better/positive hook because this is a BLP. I am not seeing any. I would suggest rewriting this sentence: "She has been claimed to promote anti-Muslim conspiracy theories". Perhaps "She has been accused of promoting anti-Muslim conspiracy theories".

- I'm fine with the change. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 17:28, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
