Belle Knox
[edit]- ... that Belle Knox created controversy when it was revealed that she performed in pornographic films in order to pay for her tuition at Duke University?
- Reviewed: Una-class submarine
- Comment: The article is currently at AFD, but from the looks of it, it looks like it will be kept.

- ALT1 ... that the revelation that Belle Knox acted in pornographic films to pay her tuition at Duke University was extremely controversial?
- ALT2 ... that Belle Knox acted in pornographic films to pay the $60,000 per year it cost her to attend Duke University?
- I just don't like the "created controversy" construction. My ALT1 suggestion avoids that without changing the substance. Also, it seems as if the whole thing is already hooky enough without even mentioning the controversy, hence my ALT2 suggestion, which, of course, I prefer.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:15, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
As long as it's kept at AfD I say it's good to go. Long enough, new enough, every fact in the proposed hook and both of my ALTS is cited inline, as is everything else in the article. There's no close paraphrasing or copyright violation per duplicate detector and my own checking. The hooks, all of them, are short enough and hooky enough. They're neutral in the context of the situation, given that Knox has discussed everything openly. The QPQ is done, so let's just see what happens at AfD.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:23, 14 March 2014 (UTC)- I like all of the alts and I can see your point about "created controversy". Whatever Ktr101 chooses is fine by me. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:12, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
- Note: Needs another reviewer at least to select amongst the hooks, as I proposed two of them.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 01:25, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'm partial to the first one, although the second one is nice due to the monetary amount. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:09, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
