 * Symbol question.svg New enough, long enough, within policy to a reasonable degree, copyvio unlikely, but could there be a more interesting hook or at least a second alternative hook? QBQ not done either. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:31, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT dully suggested. Cross Temple   Jay  16:00, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Ok. Good to go now (not striking ALT0, I'll let the closure decide on what hook, approved both). YE Pacific Hurricane 16:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg This is pretty much the same hook as Template:Did you know nominations/Stanley Nii Adjiri Blankson. And no one knows you're talking about Ghana. Could you provide a hookier ALT please? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:37, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * *Changes made, more hooks suggested. Please review and offer your comment. Thanks. Cross Temple  Jay  14:12, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It's very hard to come up with a hook for a politician article when all you're writing about is their education and appointments. It's best to find some colorful biographical facts to add to the article so you can use those for a hook. ALT2 is coming close to a hook, but the part about each administration being in the New Patriotic Party doesn't appear in the article. If you would add and source that, we could use ALT2. We could also go with your original hook, although I would reverse the order:
 * ALT0a: ... that Margaret Ivy, currently a member of Ghana's Council of State, is the country's former High Commissioner to Canada?
 * Striking other hooks. Yoninah (talk) 21:42, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Would you be able to approve ALT0a? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:51, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Based on this, sure, which seems to be a very interesting newspaper, BTW. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:35, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
