  • The article was nominated within a week of its creation and is well over the minimum character requirement. Every claim is sourced, and the copyvio detector didn't come up with any violations. The first hook is straight to the point, interesting, and well-sourced; I don't think the second hook could work, as it relies on a present tense construction in order for "Noah" to land. The article has no images to check. As noted above, QPQs have been completed promptly. Ultimately, there are no problems with the nomination. It should be good to go! Thank you for your work.

    • @Phibeatrice: Thank you for your review, I really appreciate it! Do you think the second hook would work if it was rephrased as "Did you know... that the Eastern Michigan Eagles "Noah guy" who will play linebacker for them in 2025?". I think the pun aspect is amusing and is able to both accurately quote the team's social media announcement of his signing and provide a tame alternative to (and maneuver away from) what would otherwise be a more eyebrow-raising pun that could be made here.

      • @Soulbust: I think that could work—I just went through a bunch of archived DYKs and found that sometimes a present-tense construction makes it through as long as it makes sense time-wise. In your case, this hook would simply have to run before Noah arrives on the team, which wouldn't be hard to do at all! I still think the first hook is more unique and engaging—as someone who has been aware of Noah for a while mostly due to his last name—but the pun is fun and would still encourage people to click to his page while being, of course, tamer. I'll say here, for anyone preparing the hooks later, that both hooks should work. Phibeatrice (talk) 16:22, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
