Comment: Since I know people might ask - it's a bit of a mess, but as best I can tell, ballads generally have neither italics nor quotation marks. Since they're songs or short poems, it seems like quotation marks should be called for by
MOS:T, but that doesn't appear very commonly in the sources. That said, some WP articles on ballads italicize them, so... shrug emoji, not a clear case.

I've changed my mind on this, and edited the hooks to be italicized after all. Suppose a majority of the sources do italicize.

SnowFire, article 5x expanded within 7 days of nomination, new length is well past the minimum. Sources appear reliable and properly used. No concerns about POV, CV, or anything else in policy. All 3 hooks are fun, but I think the pirates are most likely to pull clicks on the main page, since it's a bit of a Batman vs. Dracula-style matchup oddity. (And people love pirates). I think you still need a QPQ, but otherwise this is good to go. ♠
