Article meets DYK requirements and no close paraphrasing was found. All the hooks are verified and cited inline, but I think only the first hook as a broad appeal given the connection with Drogba. This is only the nominator's fourth nomination so no QPQ is needed yet, though a QPQ will be needed beginning with their sixth nomination.

@Ampimd and Narutolovehinata5: hi there! I think ALT0 is interesting for Drogba, but i find it less interesting for Heribert, since that is her standard role as a television host. Is there another hook that can be found in the article? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 00:13, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems light on details on anything other than her hosting stuff, but perhaps if that part about her being inspired by coverage of the Gulf War could be expanded, that could also work as a hook? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

okay, sounds promising—I'm going to strikes these and return this to DYKN in the meantime. Good luck, and fantastic work so far! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 08:15, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: Maybe these could work?:

ALT3 ... that as a child, Sandy Heribert was inspired to become a journalist after seeing reports about the Gulf War?
ALT4 ... that Sandy Heribert was inspired to become a journalist after seeing coverage of the Gulf War when she was nine years old?

I mean it does seem interesting that she wanted to become a journalist from such a young age, especially given that it was war in particular that inspired her. I would have mentioned the journalist's name, but the journalist doesn't have an article on the English Wikipedia and besides I don't think they're a broadly well-known enough name to add hookiness. About the only thing I can't tell from the article is if the reports she saw were what she read or she watched on television, so that point may need clarification.

You are right, the journalist does not have an article on English Wikipedia. From the reference she was watching her along with her parents on television covering the Gulf War. So it was on Television.Ampimd (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: Is it okay if you take a look at the new hooks? Thanks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:20, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- sure, I'll tick ALTs 3 and 4 in good faith (google translate seems to verify the french source); promoter can pick which one they want. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
