@Moondragon21 and Sims2aholic8: the article doesn't really make it clear what the debate actually is, or who said it to be magenta or fuchsia. Could more context be added? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 10:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
theleekycauldron ALT2 ... that Harriet Harman's Pink Bus was mocked by critics for resembling a Barbie bus, which was thought to be sexist and patronizing? SL93 (talk) 08:34, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SL93: hmmm... possibly a gen4a violation against Harman? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 02:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
theleekycauldron Possibly, but that is the context. There seems to be nothing much to work with beyond the controversy so I suggest closing the nomination if nothing else can be found soon. SL93 (talk) 02:19, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I guess we could just leave out her name... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 02:23, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ALT3 ... that the 2015 "Woman to Woman" campaign included a "Pink Bus" that was mocked by critics as sexist and patronizing?
SL93, theleekycauldron, I was surprised how little there was to the article beyond the critics; not even an examination of whether it was effective in the constituencies that the bus visited. (Is there a reason that ALT3 has "Pink Bus" in quotes, rather than just a regular lowercase pink bus? (Harmon acknowledged that it was pink, according to the article.) If you think that any of the hooks can fly, then a reviewer should be requested. If not, then this should probably be closed; the original nominator has not posted here in a month and a half. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hook issues remain, and the nominator has not responded to concerns raised despite pings and talk page messages as well as activity elsewhere. Marking for closure as abandoned. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@theleekycauldron (talk I like your hook Moondragon21 (talk) 16:21, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron and BlueMoonset: Before this is closed, I would note that the nominator has made some attempt to address concerns above. [1]. starship .paint (exalt) 13:59, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3 needs a review. The nominator has also added new sections since the first review. Flibirigit (talk) 02:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3 - the3 best imo - & extra sections (a response to complaints above) are ok. GTG (hope it's ok to butt in). Johnbod (talk) 02:11, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
