Article is long enough and new enough. Article is presentable, sourced, and free from copyvio. Hooks are interesting enough and sourced using Chinese sources (hence the good faith). Some sources are state-sponsored (i.e. Xinhua) but acceptable. QPQ done. Thank you for your nomination Toadboy123! Kimikel (talk) 01:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Toadboy123 and Kimikel: I don't find hooks ALT0, 2, or 3 interesting in the slightest (WP:DYKINT); ALT1 is borderline, but I can easily see it timing out. Anything more intriguing available? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Toadboy123, Kimikel, and AirshipJungleman29::

ALT3a ... that Sun Zhiyang, the incumbent mayor of Guangzhou, was an engineer in the automobile industry prior to entering politics?
ALT3b ... that Sun Zhiyang, who has been mayor Guangzhou since January 2024, was an engineer in the automobile industry prior to entering politics?

How are these? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both of those seem good to me. Also suggesting:

ALT4 ... that one Singaporean newspaper expected mayor Sun Zhiyang to help turn Guangzhou into a "smart car city"? [1]

Kimikel (talk) 00:24, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just waiting for Toadboy's response. Once that's resolved we will need a new reviewer to check ALT3a/ALT3b/ALT4 since the original reviewer proposed ALT4. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:08, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: @Kimikel Thank you for your input. I think the ALT that you provided is a good one and I prefer it as the hook for this article. Toadboy123 (talk) 10:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Full review still needed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:28, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approving ALT4. ALT3 needs an end-of-sentence citation for 'engineer' and the article checks have been done by Kimikel.--Laun chba ller 07:31, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
