• Comment We cannot say in Wikipedia voice that something "was one of the 100 greatest advertisements of all time". If a source has made this claim, it could be said "has been considered by so-and-so to be one of the 100 greatest advertisements of all time", but as of now it is a statement of opinion. This isn't a full review, but the hook as it stands certainly cannot go on the main page. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@Trainsandotherthings, No, it's a fact. I also saw the same here in p.6.Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 19:35, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

"100 greatest advertisements of all time" is an opinion, not a fact. It is a value judgement not based on an objective criterion that can be evaluated. This is made clear in the source you linked, which says "He has the distinction of having two of his advertisements listed among the 100 greatest of all time" which is cited to a 1959 book entitled "100 Greatest Advertisements" by one Julian Watkins. You are misrepresenting the source and in the process violating

WP:NPOV. What is true is that one book published over 50 years ago listed his advertisment as one of the "100 greatest of all time". Trainsandotherthings (talk

This isn't a review, just a comment for now, but ALT1 does not meet
