Approved with ALT2. New enough (submitted within 4 days of GA), more than long enough (13,120 characters). Well sourced (book, academic journal, magazines, etc.); neutral (opinions expressed attributed to sources); appears free of copyvio (Earwig says unlikely and AGF on Findon which is cited extensively and is an offline source); presentable (tidy looking GA article); and QPQ is done (back in February). Images used in the article are Wikipedia-safe (one illustration originally published in 1916; the main book cover thumbnail used in the article is "Fair Use" though slight quibble is that the "author" is not the same as "illustrator of book cover"). This leaves the hooks. ALT0 and ALT1 are rejected because "violates gender expectations" lacks contextualization within the hooks. (Feel free to rework them and propose again). ALT2 is interesting and checks out; the source attributed above, Challenging Destiny magazine edited by David M. Switzer, was a short-lived niche periodical, but its interviews are regarded as one of its strengths according to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction; in any case within the article other sources are cited which discuss the book's incorporation of elements of the Kalevala.

- Thanks for the detailed review, Cielquiparle! I'm happy to attribute the quote for the other two hooks to give them more context. I'm still learning the ins and outs of DYK, so that's good to know for next time.
- ALT0a: ... that a contemporary adaptation of an 1844 fairy tale contains feminist elements and, according to one scholar, "violates gender expectations"?
- ALT1a: ... that a contemporary adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" contains feminist elements and, according to one scholar, "violates gender expectations"?
- Let me know what you think of these! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:53, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Approving ALT0a and ALT1a in addition to ALT2. Cielquiparle (talk) 01:18, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
