  • Just promoted to GA. But neither hook seems appropriate. For the first one, the article only describes her as a cultural icon, and does not say that being a villain was an obstacle for that (and it shouldn't be anyway, Darth Vader and Thanos are villains, too). In any case, "subject has been described as X" is weak hook material. For ALT1, I don't see why Trump would be relevant here: memes are wildcards that can be used against any target when some given circumstances take place. And again, "they used a meme against someone" is weak hook material unless the article was about the meme, which this one is not. Cambalachero (talk) 14:21, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
    • I disagree with the criticism against ALT1, let me rephrase it to be more interesting:
  • ALT3: ... that fictional high schooler Regina George appeared in an American presidential advertisement?

  • ALT4: ... that Regina George was voted the "meanest high school film character of all time"?
