This is a drive-by comment, but as the hook is about a fictional plot point and DYK rules require that hooks about fiction involve the real world in some way, a new hook will need to be proposed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:08, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- I have written another hook (ALT1) that includes the author's name and year of publication which I hope is acceptable in rooting it in the real world. Jack1956 (talk) 20:12, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- I've suggested an ALT2 hook. MichaelMaggs (talk) 22:05, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
