General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for this useful article, on a subject which needs to be written about.

Note: The article has well over 2,000 characters (not counting the summary section, which has no citations). Therefore it is long enough. WP book-plot summaries are not usually cited, and the rest of the article is properly sourced ~~(except see my last bullet point below)..~~
I have given the article a minor copyedit. That does not affect DYK.
A Very British History is not mentioned in the source you have given above, for ALT0. I have checked all the other sources in the article, and cannot find it in any of them. Am I missing something? Please tell me where the fact is cited, or add a new source for that fact to the article?

~~When a source is found for the above fact~~, this nomination should be good to go. Storye book (talk) 09:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Storye book I have fixed the sourcing in the article. The gal-dem source says the episode is Whatever Happened to the Boat People? and I added a further source showing which show the episode came from. SL93 (talk) 13:26, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your prompt reply, SL93. That is a brilliant solution, thank you. Now all is clear in the article.

Good to go. Storye book (talk) 18:39, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
