 * Symbol question.svg Honestly I'm not sure if the hook works considering neither person seems to be well-known. A new hook might need to be proposed here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:31, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , I'm not sure I understand the objection on this. Very few of the people listed at DYK are household names.  That's one of the attractions of DYK.  I think word combination of "argue; medieval, mysticism" makes this a bit more "hooky" than the average DYK hook.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 14:09, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * , Donne is one of England's most well-known poets, in a country not short of notable poets. Edwardx (talk) 15:55, 3 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I see. Maybe I should have said that neither appear to be well-known "outside of the U.K.". In any case, I still think the hook needs to be rephrased somewhat and it's still borderline interesting since poetry has been known to be influenced by many kinds of things.

 * Our own article says "He is considered the pre-eminent representative of the metaphysical poets". I have added an alt and will add the QPQ shortly so it can be reviewed. Philafrenzy (talk) 07:41, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
 * John Donne is pretty well-known to all us English majors ;) Yoninah (talk) 13:19, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. ALT1 is interesting and hook ref verified and cited inline. I'm donating a QPQ to move this along. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:29, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
