• @AdobongPogi: Image failsWP:DYKDIVERT. I'm going to let a reviewer adjudicate on whether mentioning Savile violatesWP:DYKGRAT, but please propose additional ALTs anyway.--Launchballer 23:48, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

• @Launchballer I'll remove the image ref and I focus on proposing (another) alternative hooks for the DYK.

I think this one is on the wrong side ofWP:DYKGRAT. With Savile taken out, a hook like "that a fictional character's appearance was based on that of a celebrity?" would be compeletely unremarkable and failWP:DYKINT, so the only interest here comes from using Savile's crimes and reputation to generate shock value or a kind of dark humour. I would be open to alternative hooks which avoided this theme, though note that the nomination has already had one chance to take another run at the criteria.UndercoverClassicist^T·C 20:04, 3 February 2026 (UTC)
