Created by Ficaia (talk). Self-nominated at 20:19, 17 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Age of Consent (novel); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• @Ficaia: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. This hook fact is a WP:SYNTH issue: customs confiscated the book, they confiscated things at the docks, but they aren't confirmed to have confiscated that book at the docks. Try with another hook fact for this otherwise solid article. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:51, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
  • I've added two alts which hopefully resolve the synth issue. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 05:49, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
    • ALT1 is much stronger than ALT2, so I would encourage a promoter to take that one. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:09, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

New Order?

I rather doubt that it could be sourced, but this DYK is the first time I have heard of the novel and I am suddenly wondering if this was the source of the song title for New Order's Age of Consent (song). Has this been suggested before? CAVincent (talk) 00:21, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I didn't come across any mention of that song in sources about the novel. Maybe in sources about the song there is something about inspiration. 𝕱𝖎𝖈𝖆𝖎𝖆 (talk) 10:32, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

There was a title song to the movie Age of Consent (film) but it's a different song, and the lyrics have little connection to the movie or to the novel, but were rather bluntly suggestive... The chorus starts out Age of consent, the right to say yes, the right to say no and goes downhill from there. The novel is superb (and the text is available online), the movie I have not seen but that title song written for the movie was junk IMO, I even doubt that the songwriter had read either the screenplay or the novel.
