Community Banana Stand in Seattle

... that in downtown Seattle, approximately 8,000 bananas are given away daily by Amazon "banistas" (pictured) under the supervision of their "bananagers"? Source: WSJ

Comment: ~~I think it could be a good hook for WP:DYKAPRIL~~, or it could serve as a regular hook as well; let me know what you think. Feel free to suggest any improvements that would make it funnier/more absurd.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Hook should be cited at the end of the sentence, but we're almost there
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice work! I think this would be better suited as the trailing hook in a normal set—it is funny, but it seems more quirky-corny than April-fools'-day misleading and absurd. The hook should be cited at the end of the sentence, especially because it contains direct quotes. Well done! The article was informative and a-peel-ing (look, i'm sorry, okay?). theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 03:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Theleekycauldron: Fixed. Sure, regular DYK it is, then. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:01, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Short-ish, but fine for DYK. Otherwise new enough, long enough, well cited. GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:58, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
