 * Comment only I don't see how this hook is interesting - 50-100 million died. Is there nothing better? Edwardx (talk) 20:27, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * There could be a hook written about Salote's exile upon Takipo's marriage to her father, but I am not an expert in what exactly happened in this incident and don't want to trust the uncited information on the other articles of Tupou II and Tupou III. I chose the present hook because it can't be disputed and is referenced in the article. it's not the most eye-catching hook but is good for a filler with other more exciting hooks. Also looking at List of 1918 flu pandemic cases, she is the only queen we have an article on current who did die and the fact of a royal figure or queen dying in the 1918 flu pandemic might be interesting to some especially in far away Tonga.

 * ALT1 ... that when Queen consort ʻAnaseini Takipō (pictured) failed to produce a male heir for King George Tupou II, his daughter Sālote Tupou III ascended to the throne of Tonga upon his death?


 * Suggesting ALT1 above, with new sourcing added to the article:

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed now that hook is set. (Struck original hook due to issues noted.) BlueMoonset (talk) 17:14, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new, and large enough. Correct person credited. Paragraphs are cited. Image is public domain and so suitable, and looks OK at the tiny size. no copyright infringement. QPQ review performed. Hook alt1 is short enough and in the article. It is confirmed in the Kaeppler, Adrienne reference. Good to go with alt1 Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:22, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
