Created by Chess (talk). Self-nominated at 15:53, 31 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Hooker Harvey's; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ-exempt. Hook fact checks out, and though I'd wonder if it's undue weight, other sources mention its infamy. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:57, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
