DYK hooks have to link to the article in question, so BOLDLY proposing

ALT2 ... that Mirza Ebrahim Khan Sahhafbashi opened the first commercial movie theater in Iran, only for it to be banned within a month?

Feel free to workshop. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:28, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I like it! I would’ve gone with something similar but I wasn’t sure that including the name of someone pretty obscure would be a good hook. I wanted to focus more on the movie theatre itself opening but I’m not super experience in the DYK realm so happy to take advice! Kazamzam (talk) 00:43, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is recently expanded 5x, and eligible for DYK. There are no copyvio or related issues, and the article is very well supported with good sources. QPQ is not needed. The hook for ALT2 is to the point, and fully supported by at least 2 sources, which are cited appropriately in the text. This hook works for me. Fascinating article, thank you! Good to go.
