... that a popular ship between two characters in the television series Doctor Who, dubbed Thasmin, was later adapted into the show at the suggestion of lead actress Jodie Whittaker?
"The love story between The Doctor and Yaz was originally created by shippers as a slashfic meme. Jodie Whittaker saw them and suggested to Chibnall that it be made canon in the show, made text instead of subtext, and ended up giving it life in the show's final season."

Comment: Wasn't sure whether to class this as newly created or recent GA promo due to its circumstances, so just left it on the default template.

Overall: Splendid work Pokelego999, looking forward to your future contributions to DYK! New enough, by both GA promotion date and creation date. Congratulations on attaining GA status with such quick turnover! Earwig detects low similarity with sources used within the article. QPQ not needed as the nominator has below 5 nominations. There are two things I would like to address before approving the hook. I wanted to discuss with you whether the term "ship" should be used in the hook rather than a less jargonistic term. The GA reviewer noted the same, and I'm wondering if "pairing" or another term would be more accessible for a general audience. In addition, I am curious if there are additional sources for the hook aside from Bleeding Cool that could serve to back it up. It is not as much of an issue, but I am curious if other agencies had covered the same interaction between Whittaker and Chibnall. Ornithoptera (talk) 00:00, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
@Ornithoptera: Perhaps "romantic pairing" with a link to the shipping article would suffice for simplicity's sake? Additionally, I do believe other sources mention this, as I have seen it get brought up in brief across other sources, but Bleeding Cool mentioned it the most directly for the purposes of the article, and is what the statement for this DYK is cited to in the article, so I do not believe there should be an issue there, since Bleeding Cool is a reliable source per WP:VG/RS.

Thank you for the quick response Pokelego999! Romantic pairing sounds like a good idea to me, could you propose the alt hook in your reply? I will approve of that shortly. Also, thank you for the clarification. Seems like apart from that, everything should be good on my end! Wonderful work, and looking forward to your future work!

@Ornithoptera: could you clarify by alt hook? Do you mean a second hook, or an alteration to the original hook? Magneton Considerer:Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 00:45, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
My bad, I should have specified! You are welcome to do either, but in my experience, a second hook is proposed with the proposed rewording and then approved from there. Ornithoptera (talk) 01:01, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi, thank you for asking Pokelego999, typically it would go something like "ALT0a: ...that [blurb]". Here's an example from my DYK nomination of Salmon n' Bannock if you want to see it in practice, and another one just in case! Ornithoptera (talk) 01:18, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
ALT0a: ... that a popular ship between two characters in the television series Doctor Who, dubbed Thasmin, was later adapted into the show at the suggestion of lead actress Jodie Whittaker?
Yup, but with the changes that we had discussed! You can alter the hook for ALT0a with what we've discussed and I'll give it the needed approval! Ornithoptera (talk) 04:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Oh, woops, brain farted and forgot to actually include the new content in there. Here:
The above hook is pretty long at 190 characters and thus would probably fall under WP:DYKTRIM. Perhaps something like: ALT0b: ... that a popular romantic pairing from Doctor Who was later adapted into the show at the suggestion of lead actress Jodie Whittaker? Sometimes, it's not actually necessary to mention the article subject by name in a hook. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:13, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
