  • Comment: After building several preps with no representation outside of North America and Europe, I am making a push to get articles from under-represented areas into DYK. This is nomination 4 in that effort.

Created by Mar4d (talk). Nominated by The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) at 09:18, 26 May 2020 (UTC).

  • The only problem that I can see is that the article does not specifically state that it's a posthumous debut. It can be put together, but the readers should not have to do that. SL93 (talk) 22:44, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
SL93, how about:

I like that one. Everything checks out for DYK. I also appreciate that you're nominating something outside of North America and Europe. SL93 (talk) 04:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
  • It's rather awkward to say a dead person is making her film debut. Yoninah (talk) 12:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Hence the wording in the original hook, which I still think was fine, but wasn't willing to argue about. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 16:56, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Original hook is approved. I'm not going to argue over the hook. SL93 (talk) 17:25, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I don't understand the problem. What do you think about:
  • ALT0a: ... that Pakistani model Zara Abid, one of the 97 victims of PIA Flight 8303, makes a posthumous film debut in the biopic Chaudhry?
  • Well, in the lead you say it is her film debut. Second try:
  • ALT0b: ... that Pakistani model Zara Abid, who made her film debut in the upcoming biopic Chaudhry, died in the crash of PIA Flight 8303? Yoninah (talk) 19:03, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Restoring tick per SL93's review. Yoninah (talk) 20:41, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
