5x expanded by Nkon21 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:03, 17 November 2021 (UTC).
Hook is interesting, within prescribed limits and is well cited. AGF on sources written in Japanese. Images have no issues. QPQ completed. However, 5x expansion is short by 355 characters. Please add some more information and the article will be good to go. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:21, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Gwillhickers: I believe that the 5x threshold has now been reached. I also feel that this hook should be saved for December 25, any thoughts? ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 01:46, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
Looks good. Article is good to go. Having the article listed on Dec. 25 would not be up to me. We can request that it would appear under DYK on that date:
: EDITOR IS REQUESTING THAT THE ARTICLE BE LISTED UNDER DYK ON DECEMBER 25 -- Gwillhickers (talk) 03:29, 19 November 2021 (UTC)- @Nkon and Gwillhickers: Actually, i don't think the hook checks out—the article does say that 'tis a christmas carol, and that it is super popular, and that it has been called Japan's "All I Want For Christmas Is You", but it doesn't say that that's because of its popularity around christmastime, nor does it say that this popularity spike actually occurs. Is there a sourcing groundwork for that? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:52, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Oops, Nkon21; we can always tweak the hook—in fact, we probably should leave out the explanation anyway. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:53, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm going to go ahead and propose an ALT1, since Gwillhickers is offline and we're on a time crunch. SL93, could you take a gander? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 22:22, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
