  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Wesley O. Smith
  • Comment: Decided to test out the DYK Helper tool, but failed on me twice while I was trying to create this, so I ended up doing it manually. It's late for me and now my head hurts as a result, so please let me know if there are any errors.

  • This is just a comment but I was wondering if other hooks could be proposed here. The hooks proposed above do not appear to have much of an appeal to non-American readers due to a reliance on mentioning names and places that most non-American readers may not be familiar with, although there is some potential with ALT0 (given that SNL is probably at least somewhat well-known outside the US). In the case of ALT0, it may be a good idea to mention exactly how Mooney influenced the YouTube channel (and perhaps mention that it is a YouTube channel), since for international readers the SNL mention or Mooney may not mean much.

That still sounds a bit niche. If you can find a source about the "capturing true Americana" statement and add it to the article, that may actually work well as a hook. Another possibility could be mentioning the creator's hitchhiking past. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that sounds good. The article meets DYK requirements for a new creation and no close paraphrasing was found. ALT5 (the only approved hook) is cited inline and verified in the source. A QPQ has been performed. This is almost good to go, there's just something that needs to be clarified: the article says Callaghan is 22, but The Guardian instead says he's 23.

Not sure how that happened, but it’s been fixed.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 15:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I think we should be good to go here. I'm a bit wary about the use of the word "fringe" in the article, but given that it's used in both of the sources it should be acceptable in this case. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 07:36, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

Andrew Callaghan should be merged into All Gas No Brakes. Callaghan's notability is not independent of All Gas No Brakes. Also, much of the information in the Callaghan article is the same as the stuff on the AGNB article.  Bait30  Talk 2 me pls? 02:38, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom.—indopug (talk) 09:08, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Proposer or other interested editor should consider doing the merge. GenQuest "Talk to Me" 04:29, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Due to Callaghan's departure from the show I will be creating his own page and removing his personal information from this page. CaffeinAddict (talk) 05:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

the channel name is "Gas No Brakes All Gas No Brakes" linking to https://www.youtube.com/user/All in the infobox even though it's right in the source code? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phil330d (talkcontribs)

I can't seem to get it to work. CaffeinAddict (talk) 05:58, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. SWinxy (talk) 15:28, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
