• ... that Repeat Shoe revolves around a shoe that can time travel? Source: https://chennaivision.com/repeat-shoe-movie-review/
  • Reviewed: 4th nomination

5x expanded by Karnataka (talk) and Neutral Fan (talk). Nominated by Karnataka (talk) at 10:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Repeat Shoe; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• The article currently has a stub template, which needs to be addressed before approval. More importantly, the hook is not suitable per WP:DYKFICTION: hooks about works of fiction like movies need to have a real-world connection and not be about plot.

• 'ALT1: ... that although the title of the film is Repeat Shoe, it revolves around child trafficking, an societal issue prevalent in India? Source: https://navjeevanexpress.com/yogi-babus-shoe-thriller-comedy-audio-and-trailer-launched-with-much-fanfare/

ALT1 seems a bit like synthesis since the article doesn't talk at all about the contrast between the title and the subject matter. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:58, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

• The source does. If you think this hook is okay I will add the content into the article somehow. — Karnataka ^talk 19:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't know, I don't think it's really that "hooky" if you ask me. It's common for movie titles to not explicitly be about the subject matter. Also, the source you gave also does not give the contrast either. It mentions the film is about trafficking but it doesn't contrast it with the title, which is what I meant by "synthesis" since the hook fact would be your own opinion/your own original research, which is a no-no.

• I've struck both hooks: the original for failing the real-world connection criterion, and the second for being possible synthesis. A new hook is needed here, but if none can be proposed, it may be time to close this nomination as unsuccessful. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:45, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Technically long enough, new enough. No copyright issues found, no maintenance templates found. ALT1 is a good starting point, though is unsourced in the article, and could be hookier anyhow (something like "that Repeat Shoe is about child trafficking in India", but we can workshop that later). More pressingly, the plot section, while technically within MOS:PLOT, is nearly three quarters of the article, which violates WP:ASPECT, and I would like to see the other sections expanded before I approve this.--Launchballer 15:57, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

• @Karnataka: Please address the issues mentioned above. Z1720 (talk) 17:08, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
