 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Expanded from two lines today. It is neutral and well referenced. Hook is correctly formatted and has an inline cite. Hook tweaked slightly. Pic is fair use and therefore cannot be used in the hook. No copy vios detected. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:01, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * N.b. I changed the hook back to the initial one I composed (diff). Please provide alts, which is preferred over continuously editing the hook. Thanks. North America1000 13:54, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Trouble is they tried to block the use of the term for a product that is all turkey and no ham according to the source, not necessarily a product that contained both turkey and ham. Not sure if this amounts to much of a difference but I thought it best to stick to the source. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:42, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The revised hook was: "the American Meat Institute tried to stop the term turkey ham being used to describe products that contained no ham?" which actually makes clear that there is no ham in the product, a fact that I for one would not have known. Philafrenzy (talk) 14:45, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * I feel that my initial proposed hook is functional to create intrigue, which is what hooks are supposed to do. It says right in the lead of the article, "turkey ham products do not contain any ham or pork products". Also, the AMI did indeed attempt to entirely ban use of the term "turkey ham" on product packaging. North America1000 01:27, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Agree with nominator here that the original hook is more intriguing. HaEr48 (talk) 08:00, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
