 * Symbol question.svg Article length, date and compliance with policy check out - nice work. I think the hook could use some work though - having a Facebook page is probably not very unusual for cats and fan pages lasting past death is the norm...   I would suggest something on his celebrity and/or on the media circus after his death. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:55, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, how's this: Alt 1: ... that when Buurtpoes Bledder (pictured) died, his death was covered in national news, including SBS 6 and De Telegraaf, despite Bledder being a cat? Is this a better hook, ? Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  09:35, 29 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Reviewer needed to check ALT1 hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:49, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
 * While the hook's length isn't too long, I'm going to suggest a slight rewording as the dangling despite being a cat sounds a bit awkward:
 * ALT2: ... that when the cat Buurtpoes Bledder (pictured) died, his death was covered in national news, including SBS 6 and De Telegraaf?
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Will need a reviewer for this ALT2 hook. I, JethroBT  drop me a line 20:33, 6 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Both hooks check out. (I added publication names to the cites in the article). Aymatth2 (talk) 18:18, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I will use Alt 2. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  18:46, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
