Hook eligibility:

Cited: - My only issue with the with the hook is in the nickname. Typically, the shorthand John "The Best" Doe means that John is known as The Best, not The Best Doe. The source says Death of "Long Run" Hackett. Perhaps recasting the hook to neatly avoid this ambiguity would work: ... that American playwright Walter "Long Run" Hackett earned that nickname for his many long-running plays staged in London's West End?
Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

@ HouseBlaster Thank you so much for the review and the kind words. I actually prefer your hook wording over mine. I have swapped out my hook wording for yours above, and altered the lead text to mirror this way of presenting the information. Thanks again.4meter4 (talk) 16:27, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
