Created by NegativeMP1 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Herobrine; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is new and long enough. Sourcing looks good and Earwig checks out, all flagged bits are direct quotes that are properly attributed. Both hooks are interesting and cited inline in the body of the article. QPQ is done so I think this is good to go. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
We are in WP:QPQ backlog mode. Double reviews are required.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:51, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- @TonyTheTiger: Hi, if I need to review a second nomination I will do so, but the backlog mode states that it only applies to users with more than twenty successful nominations. I do not have twenty past nominations (I think I've had around ten?), and therefore this nomination should be fine. Correct me if I am mistaken. λ NegativeMP1 08:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes the QPQ check tool to the right counts only 10. I don't really trust the QPQ tool that much because it barely counts 40% of my own nominations. But If you feel that you have done less than 20 noms this can go forward. This case is on the honor system.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:49, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- I see only nine DYK nominations credited on User:NegativeMP1's talk page, a clear indication that no extra QPQ is required in this situation. I'm very sorry that this nomination was inappropriately delayed. Restoring User:PCN02WPS's original tick. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:22, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
