• ... that Allison Reese has been called "better at Kamala than Kamala is"? Source: Holtermann, Callie (2024-07-22). "A Kamala Harris Impersonator Is Ready for Her Moment". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331. Retrieved 2024-08-04. "You're better at Kamala than Kamala is," a commenter wrote on one of her videos.
  • ALT1: ... that comedian Allison Reese came out to her parents through a group text message? Source: Rodriguez, Alexander (2023-11-19). "Allison Reese is a Comedic Star on the Rise". Metrosource. ISSN 1529-935X. Retrieved 2024-08-04. So, I just sent a group text. I was just like, "Hey, think I'm gay. That cool?" Several minutes went by and I was like, oh God. And my dad finally responded, "Yep, you're good." And that's truly it. And my mom called and was like, "Hey, I know you're doing comedy. Is that like a joke?" I was like, no, it's real. And she's like, "Okay!"

  • Comment: Thanks for reviewing! Definitely open to more hooks here, but I think ALT0 is the most intriguing one I can make.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting:
• Other problems: - If ALT1 is approved, then reference [1] needs to be repeated directly after the sentence "Soon after this, at the age of 22, she came out as a lesbian through a group text message to her parents, who were both supportive of her sexuality." This is necessary per WP:DYKHFC, which says "The facts of the hook in the article should be cited no later than the end of the sentence in which they appear."

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Bsoyka Nice work on this article. I think ALT0 is the most interesting as well, but ALT1 might also work. I'm not sure about ALT2, since many influencers get millions of views for whatever it is that they're known for. Epicgenius (talk) 19:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

@Bsoyka, Epicgenius, and Kimikel: Just noting that I have pulled this from prep 1 as there is already a Kamala hook in queue 7 and there's another in a later prep. I have not in any way assessed the article.--Launchballer 14:09, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Pulled per WT:DYK#Allison Reese and WP:DYKELECT. Not the nom's fault, and so this shouldn't be timed out. I've moved it to SOHA.--Launchballer 22:10, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
