Maximilian Dood
- ... that in August 2021, YouTuber Maximilian Dood's viral social media campaign for Marvel vs. Capcom 2's rerelease caught the regards of studio Digital Eclipse, who expressed interest in rereleasing the game? Source: 1 and 2
- Comment: This is the first time I’ve ever made a DYK here, so here goes. I personally find this fact interesting because it highlights how the advent of YouTube, and internet fame in general, has allowed people to use their voice to reach people in positions of high influence, bringing hidden ideas to light and advocating for change. While this specific example falls under a video game/pop-culture category, and may not fit Wikipedia’s desire for academic material, I feel that this is interesting enough to share, as it’s one the gaming community can relate to, like with other social media trends such as #FreeSmash and "Rerelease Mother 3." As for the article itself, all of the citations should be reliable enough; they’re all from third-party/secondary source outlets and there isn’t any BLP violation to be found here. One concern I have is criteria #3 - “Each fact in the hook must be supported in the article by at least one inline citation to a reliable source, appearing no later than the end of the sentence(s) offering that fact. Citations at the end of the paragraph are not sufficient.” While the hook is sourced in the article, the refs are at the end of the section rather than per each sentence. I can fix that however. Anyway, I hope this fact does get accepted! If not, I understand, thanks for reviewing this anyway.

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- Hook is currently at 204 characters, so a minor reduction is required (maximum hook length is 200 characters)
| QPQ: None required. |
Overall: 
Article is new and long enough. Earwig looks good and sourcing is good as well, and the hook is certainly interesting (and cited in the article), but is slightly too long. No QPQ is required as nominator does not yet have a DYK credit. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 03:11, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
- Pinging nominator PantheonRadiance as this has gone about a week and a half without a response. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 01:18, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that Digital Eclipse expressed interest in rereleasing Marvel vs. Capcom 2 after Maximilian Dood's social media campaign went viral?
Seems a shame to let this die for four characters. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:02, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
Should I wait for the original nominator to get back to this or pass ALT1 immediately? (courtesy pinging @PantheonRadiance:) Heythereimaguy (talk) 13:20, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Pinging reviewer PCN02WPS, to see whether they think ALT1 does the trick, and whether there are any other issues that would prevent approval of the nomination. (Heythereimaguy, let's give the original reviewer the opportunity to continue their review. Thanks.) BlueMoonset (talk) 05:15, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
