 * Symbol question.svg I wonder if a better hook could be proposed here as, to be frank, neither are spectacular. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:00, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I am open to hook suggestions. Do you have any ideas? feminist (talk) 05:14, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe ALT2: ... that Raja Koduri heads a team of 4,500 people at Intel to design graphics processing units? Though I am not sure if relying on the interview (a primary source) for this is appropriate. feminist (talk) 05:31, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell, primary sources are accepted for stuff like personal information and uncontroversial statements. If you have concerns, you can always as WP:RSN. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:10, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but my concern isn't with reliability per se (Barron's is certainly reliable for an interview), but rather whether it would be considered undue/promotional to use such a claim as a fact for DYK. It's, after all, a claim about a company division made by a company executive, and we have no way to verify this with a secondary source. Alternatively, ALT2a: ... that Raja Koduri says he leads a team of 4,500 people at Intel to design graphics processing units? feminist (talk) 13:51, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have concerns that that hook might be too promotional or too praiseworthy. Are there any other options? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:17, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * See, that's my point. feminist (talk) 06:53, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm honestly not sure at this point. Apart from the one where he compared one of his companies to Pixar (which might also count as promotional), I don't really see anything else that's hook-worthy here. I'm starting to wonder if closure might be the ultimate option here: not every topic is meant for DYK unfortunately. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:38, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Does anyone else have ideas? Maybe ... that Raja Koduri joined Intel after working at its competitor AMD twice? This specifies the fact that Intel and AMD are competitors, highlighting the significance of him jumping ship. feminist (talk) 13:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know but that kind of sounds routine to be honest. People in business jump to rivals all the time. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:43, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT4: ... that Raja Koduri developed hardware that enabled Apple to launch its Retina displays? I'll leave the choice to the reviewer/promoter. feminist (talk) 04:20, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think that would have actually been a good option; however the article only says that he worked on the development and that he didn't personally develop it or was involved in overseeing said development. If this could be clarified or the hook could be rephrased, this could be the best way to move forward. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:53, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT5: ... that before joining AMD and then Intel, Raja Koduri worked on technology that allowed Apple to launch its Retina displays? I think this is the best way to combine the interesting aspects. If not, ALT4a: ... that Raja Koduri worked on technology that enabled Apple to launch its Retina displays? is a slight modification of ALT4. feminist (talk) 03:39, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I suppose both suggestions are fine here (with perhaps a slight preference for ALT5). They're not really that spectacular, but the connections presented now look acceptable at the very least. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:44, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * So is this a tick? feminist (talk) 13:53, 16 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed of nomination now that hooks have been settled on. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:49, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I think ALT5 would be the best option at this point. The article meets requirements, hooks are interesting and cited inline, a QPQ has been performed, and no close paraphrasing was found. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 08:25, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
