• As a note, this probably needs to go on hold (or at least wait to be promoted) until the {{Notability}} tag added to the article and this associated discussion resolve themselves, per WP:DYKTAG. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 21:12, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
  • consensus on the talkpage is that this article is not notable and it has been PRODed. Queen of Hearts (talk) 20:47, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
    • I missed that this was a double hook. This can proceed without Yolanda, although the hook should probably be reworked. Queen of Hearts (talk) 20:49, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
      • Ah, thanks for the note! Suggesting the following Gene-only hooks below: Bsoyka (t • c • g) 00:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

          • New reviewer needs for ALTs 2 & 3 (0b seems uninteresting). ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:34, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't find either ALT2 or ALT3 interesting. What's unusual about a businessman winning a business award?--Launchballer 22:12, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Maybe it's just me, but I did find it rather interesting that there's even an international hall of fame for Pizza Hut franchisees. ALT3 is interesting to me (though less than ALT2), but maybe it's because I'm not from a business background. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:37, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm gonna pop in and suggest an alt hook, do with it what you will.

ALT4: ... that the CEO of a pizza chain has multiple honorary doctorates? https://mag.newmanu.edu/honorarydegrees15/, https://foundation.wichita.edu/gene-and-yolanda-camarena-receive-honorary-doctorates/ Di (they-them) (talk) 15:44, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

As Bsoyka has already given the article a full review and the hooks have already been checked, I'm giving both ALT2 and ALT4 a tick. However, as an objection was raised to ALT2, my preference would be ALT4. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:35, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
