 * The hook is too much of a fudge for me - "perhaps the most-well known alleged..". Long enough, recent enough. Secretlondon (talk) 14:39, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * How about: "... that on Good Friday, 6 April 1612, Malkin Tower was alleged to be the location of a witches' coven?" We have to use alleged because obviously there's no such thing as real witches. BigDom (talk) 14:45, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I think Wiccans would disagree! However this is about women falsely being accused of witchcraft, which I accept is different.
 * Actually it isn't; two of those accused and executed as witches were blokes. Malleus Fatuorum 00:48, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I would suggest "... that Malkin Tower was the venue for an alleged witches' coven that took place on Good Friday, 6 April 1612" as a less ambiguous hook. Malleus Fatuorum 00:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Long enough, recent enough. Refs fine. I've fiddled with your alt hook. Will have to AGF on the offline sources. Secretlondon (talk) 22:35, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
 * That alt hook isn't right, as the coven took place on 6 April, not the allegation. I don't agree with the "fudge" accusation, but I've made an alternate suggestion nevertheless. Malleus Fatuorum 00:43, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
