Overall: 
Article nominated for DYK within 7 days of reaching Good Article status. The article is long enough, has over 1,500 words of prose, and is properly cited. Earwig picked up a copyright violation 0%, maing it unlikely. QPQ is done. AGF on locked sources. The article in general has a lot of red links and I think that, if there are no plans on creating those articles, they should be removed. Hook is cited, but it doesn't seem particularly interesting to people outside of fans of football, so another one is recommended. lullabying (talk) 02:51, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that Gedling Town F.C.'s nickname "The Ferrymen" was inspired by the name of a pub located near the team's stadium?
- @Lullabying and Curlymanjaro: How does this sound? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:07, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Lullabying and Narutolovehinata5: Hi both. I based the original hook on a previous DYK of mine. I think it's also fair to say it's difficult to find an interesting fact about a grassroots football team that isn't also about football. However, if we prefer Naruto's suggestion, how about: ... that Gedling Town F.C.'s nickname "The Ferrymen" was inspired by the name of a pub located next to the team's stadium?

I would prefer ALT1 or ALT1b. Good to go. lullabying (talk) 20:46, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
