• @Earth605: Article is new and long enough, external policy compliant, and is presentable. The hooks are cited to reliable sources and are interesting. Images are freely licensed and a QPQ was carried out. ALT0 is a bit of a borderline case for interestingness; it’s common for companies to be named after their industry and some may not find it interesting. ALT1 is a contentious claim; although the policy states that it’s okay to have such hooks, it’s a bit controversial these days to nominate such a hook, and it’s a little promotional for my liking. I will approve ALT2, but the source says that the phrase complements the company’s name, not that the company was named after that specific phrase (courtesy pinging Reverosie, who may be interested in this discussion).

Thanks for reviewing! One detail. I did not need to do the QPQ, I just mentioned it cuz why not? About ALT0, the company is a carsharing company, not an electricity company. ALT1 was meant to be an image hook and ALT2 was the normal hook. ALT2 says that the name “derives” from the expression, which is not the same as it comes from it, but I understand your reasoning.

@Earth605: Regarding ALT0, I am aware that this is a carsharing company. Reiterating my point, it’s common for car companies, and car-sharing companies, to be named after things assoicated with their industry (example: Tesla is named after Nikola Tesla), so I considered it to be a borderline case. However, I am willing to seek out a third opinion for ALT0, if you’re interested. The source of ALT2 says A su vez, se complementa con el significado coloquial ‘darse un voltio’, salir de algún lugar para dar una vuelta, which roughly translates to It is also complemented by the colloquial meaning of ‘taking a little break,’ which means going out for a walk, meaning it complements the phrase (makes the company’s name “Voltio” look better, for a lack of a better word), not that it originated from that specfic phrase. I’m also willing to seek for a third opinion on this hook as well. Icepinner 02:31, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

In the case of ALT0, I’m actually okay with it as it (as long as it’s made clear that it’s referring to the unit volt and not some other usage), but maybe a short clause explaining why would increase hook interest and address the concerns?

@Icepinner and Narutolovehinata5: Sorry for the long wait. I would like another opinion in ALT2. What do you mean: a short clause? Earth605^talk 06:16, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

It means that a version of ALT0 that explains why the company was named after the volt could work. So instead of “that Voltio is named after the volt”, it could be “that car sharing company Voltio is named after the volt because/to [insert reason here]?” It would admittedly make for a longer hook, but it could also solve the context and interest issues.

Yeah I wouldn’t mind it if ALT0 had a short clause explaning why it was named after the volt. I still think ALT2 has potential, like ALT2a: “… that a Spanish carsharing company‘s name is complemented by a phrase for “taking a walk”?”. Pretty interesting that a carsharing company’s name complements an expression for taking a walk. Icepinner 14:40, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I like that! I’ll just like to cut the “Spanish” part ’cause of geographical bias like so: ALT2b “… that a carsharing company‘s name is complemented by a phrase for “taking a walk”?” This here would be perfect, @Icepinner:! Earth605^talk 20:32, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough. What do you think of this hook, Narutolovehinata5? Icepinner 01:29, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Not the greatest hook out there, but still better than the volt hook. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:05, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Ok then, I shall greenlight ALT2b. Icepinner 03:34, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
