I do not see how either hook meets WP:DYKINT, or more specifically, how either hook appeals to non-Filipino readers. Please propose alternative hooks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:01, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How does this is not passed in WP:DYKINT? First of all, it is a traditional Filipino dance relay. Is this WP:IDONTLIKEIT? ROY is WAR Talk! 10:18, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The hook should be likely to be perceived as unusual or intriguing by readers with no special knowledge or interest in the topic. Basically, that means the hook has to be interesting or at least eye-catching even to someone who is not necessarily familiar with the names or information mentioned in the hook. For one, the hook doesn't even make it clear that the subject is a song. The idea you should have when writing a hook is this: if a reader is not a fan of BINI and/or is not from the Philippines, could they understand the hook and appreciate it?

Asking Launchballer if they could propose additional hook suggestions. In the meantime, I wonder if a revised version of ALT0 would solve the interest concerns:

ALT0a ... that the name of the Filipino girl group Bini's song "Shagidi" was inspired by a children's game?

Actually, now that I think about it, I think ALT1 could work as a hook if it is rephrased as well, perhaps something like:

ALT1a ... that the cover artwork for the Filipino girl group Bini's song "Shagidi" was created by one of its members?

The main concern I had was the lack of context for international readers who may not know who Bini is, so solving that should address the interest concerns. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 04:26, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
