Stop!! Hibari-kun!
[edit]... that Stop!! Hibari-kun! is credited for having helped in starting the J-pop phenomenon?
- ALT1:
... that some readers of the manga Stop!! Hibari-kun! were influenced to start crossdressing? - ALT2:
... that Hisashi Eguchi abandoned the serialization of his manga Stop!! Hibari-kun!? - Reviewed: The Boys (Girls' Generation song)
- ALT1:
Improved to Good Article status by Juhachi (talk). Nominated by Narutolovehinata5 (talk) at 04:02, 4 May 2016 (UTC).
I have no idea if ALT1 is appropriate for a DYK hook, so preferably the first mentioned hook should be used if this is to pass. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:02, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- As the editor who improved the article to GA, might I suggest an alternative hook:
- ALT2:

- As the editor who improved the article to GA, might I suggest an alternative hook:
- ALT3:
... that Hisashi Eguchi, author of the manga Stop!! Hibari-kun!, locked himself in a hotel room, forcing the manga's editors to publish an incomplete final chapter?
- @Juhachi: What about this? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:21, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- That's not what happened. He fled to the hotel after he submitted the incomplete manuscript. It was only after that that the editorial department allowed him to abandon the series. It's not like this was his first run-in with the editors. Eguchi was notorious for drawing the chapters slowly, and he took many long breaks during Hibari-kun's serialization. All of it just seemed to have come to a head with the final chapter being submitted roughly half-finished. Manga authors have to run their storyboards by their editors before they go to actually drawing a chapter, so they would have been aware that the last five pages from the storyboard were not submitted. Then Eguchi went to a hotel, essentially forcing the editors to just go with what they had, so they printed the incomplete chapter in the magazine.--十八 05:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- "locked himself in a hotel room, forcing the manga's editors to publish an incomplete final chapter" is also not exactly what happened, going by what Eguchi said himself. I assume he forced the editors to publish the incomplete chapter going by what he said, but he was still pretty vague on the details. I think we should just forget about the hotel story as a hook.--十八 10:45, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

If this nomination goes through, I would also like to propose that this be moved to the special occasion holding area for the date of May 20, the 33-year anniversary of the premiere of the anime's first episode.--十八 07:29, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Why not something taken directly from the text like: "ALT4:
... that serialization of manga Stop!! Hibari-kun! was abandoned after author Hisashi Eguchi locked himself in a hotel room?"The whole fiasco with the hotel is really interesting (like a hook should be) and it'll be a shame to not use it imo. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 02:08, 6 May 2016 (UTC)- Maybe if it was like:
- ALT5: ... that Hisashi Eguchi abandoned the serialization of his manga Stop!! Hibari-kun! after he fled to a hotel room?
- Eguchi said he "fled", not that he locked himself in. It's probably just that he didn't tell anyone where he was, so they couldn't find him, is all. But I'll add it to the top as the third alt.--十八 03:57, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, that one's really good, thanks Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 07:25, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
