 * Symbol possible vote.svg In the reference for the Waitrose statement I can't see where it mentions that it is the 131st store. Pi       (Talk to me! ) 19:20, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Did you check the page URL?-- Laun  chba  ller  19:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that doesn't make it clear to me that it's the 131st shop. That seems to just be a page number on their website, I'm not inclined to read significance into that alone Pi       (Talk to me! ) 19:53, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Is this better?-- Laun  chba  ller  20:30, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I still don't understand what it means to be honest. Yes, Waitrose have assigned it a number, but does that mean it was the 131st shop to open or what? I think that perhaps it's too ambiguous to be a DYK hook Pi       (Talk to me! ) 20:51, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Supermarkets alway assign numbers to stores in order of opening. That is standard industry practice. But if you insist:
 * ALT1: ... that Waitrose have assigned the number 131 to their New Malden High Street branch, which has the London Buses route 131 run straight the way through it? -- Laun  chba  ller  23:09, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that's more reasonable, but I think the bus reference should also have an inline citation. I'd appreciate someone more experienced than me checking this over too Pi       (Talk to me! ) 23:36, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

 * That's you, surely?-- Laun  chba  ller  22:09, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
 * 'ALT1' needs rewording. Currently it sounds like the 131 bus runs through the Waitrose store in NM High Street. ;-) --  Ohc  ¡digame! 02:18, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT2: ... that New Malden High Street Waitrose has been assigned the number 131, and that London Buses route 131 runs straight through the high street? -- Laun  chba  ller  08:46, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't find the use of 131 with reference to the Waitrose store convincing. Why don't you take a completely different tack? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:36, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT3: ... that New Malden High Street contains many Korean shops reflecting the large population of South Koreans in the London suburb?
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The ALT3 hook is interesting and well-supported by the BBC source. It could perhaps be improved (the area contains the most Koreans in Europe!) but it's good enough for promotion now. Andrew (talk) 12:39, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg A QPQ review is required before this can be promoted.  SagaciousPhil   -  Chat  12:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * QPQ done.-- Laun  chba  ller  16:20, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Re-instating 's tick as QPQ has now been undertaken. I've also struck ALT2 for clarity. SagaciousPhil  -  Chat  16:31, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
