The article meets the "long enough" criterion, but I find it to be very sparse. Too much of the text consists of direct quotations from sources -- and after I looked at several sources I realized that the article did not do a very good job of conveying what they said. Regarding the hook fact, when I looked at the article I wanted to know when the lawsuit was filed ("one week before the U.S. release" doesn't say what year it was) and how the suit was concluded. With minimal online research, I learned that the man who sued was Debbie Nelson's agent, that the lawsuit was dropped in some fashion, and that it was later reported that Debbie Nelson was going to marry the man who sued her. I'd like to see more solid substance in the article before it is featured in DYK. --
