- ALT1 ... that according to Amrita Shah, the introduction of television to India caused a new generation of women to want to be more independent? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:30, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Created by Whispyhistory (talk). Self-nominated at 17:14, 28 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Amrita Shah; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
I've read through this article and the hook source material several times. Article is new enough (22 Sept, 28 Sept) long enough (4650+), well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free (16%). No maintenance tags, and the biography is fleshed out, for the most part, enough for DYK (but there is missing information that the reader has come to expect, such as early life, birth place and date, age, etc. But, in this instance, I do not think this is a red flag.) The hook is cited and interesting. The lead image is not being used for this hook, but I was curious about the copyright; a quick search shows it is unique to the uploader (it is their own) and to Wikipedia/Commons, so it checks out. The QPQ was completed. Both hooks above check out, but it would be nice to shorten it to 117 characters, instead of the above 133 and 135 respectively: "... that Amrita Shah found that the introduction of television to India led to more women aspiring to become independent?"

- Thank you @Viriditas:. I couldn't find much on her early life.... if you know of where to look then please do share. Philafrenzy thank you for your hook suggestion. Are you able to revise it please? Whispyhistory (talk) 06:47, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory: I generally use the refdesk for help finding sources about biographical subjects. They are a wonderful group of people who have generously helped me expand heaps of articles when I thought there was nowhere else to turn. Please consider posting a query there about sources for Shah's early life. As for the hook, I wouldn't worry about it. When the closer comes around, they will see all three listed in the hook length box and choose from there. Please keep this page on your watchlist in case anyone has questions about your hooks. You'll notice that I added additional citations to the hook in the article for this reason. Viriditas (talk) 07:20, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
