  • The hook pretty plainly breaches WP:NPOV: it's straight (and fairly derogatory) opinion about what a WP:BLP, in Wikipedia voice, and not an even close to an undisputed one. The Drover's Wife (talk) 01:42, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Drat. OK, won't argue with a co-author. Will think of another. Do you have any other ideas? --GRuban (talk) 02:02, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
      • @The Drover's Wife: Would you consider something about her responding to accusations of flirting with Hollywood by coming out also a BLP breach? --GRuban (talk) 02:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
        • I think that's also a bit of a creative interpretation of that incident (the former as prompting the latter, instead of her referring to the former after coming out) - perhaps something like "mocked people who had suggested she was attracted to host Paul Hollywood following her coming out as queer". The Drover's Wife (talk) 02:43, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
  • @The Drover's Wife: Sounds good, but let's avoid giving his name, as we know he didn't appreciate that. How about:
ALT1: ... that when baker Ruby Tandoh (pictured) publicly came out, she mocked critics who suggested she had romanced a male contest judge?
