Hi, I came by to promote this, but find the hook fact obscure. The page that it's linking to, Benazir Income Support Programme, has been tagged as an advertisement, and therefore cannot appear on the main page without further work. Aside from the fact that Baig is a politician, do you have anything hooky to say about him? Yoninah (talk) 19:31, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that Enver Baig represented Pakistan Peoples Party in the Senate of Pakistan during 2003–09?

- @Sahara4u: But it's not hooky. Why would someone who doesn't live in Pakistan care? The only hooky material you have here is his vendetta against the Pakistan cricket team. Perhaps you could find some personal information outside his political career which could be used to fashion a good hook. Yoninah (talk) 19:53, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- ALT2 ... that Enver Baig accused the Pakistan national cricket team's players of being involved in match fixing? Source: Rediff.com
ALT3 ... that in 2007, Enver Baig termed Pakistan Cricket Board's chairman Nasim Ashraf "the most incompetent official"? Source: ESPNcricinfo
- Approving ALT2, which is interesting and supported by an inline citation that checks out. Striking ALT3, which seems too negative for a named individual. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:12, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
