Overall: 
Article is new enough and long enough (not sure what DYKcheck's problem is, but meets expansion requirement by 39 B). Earwig looks good and sourcing is solid. My only concern is that the hook is not particularly interesting; it merely tells the subject of the documentary and book. I think a more interesting hook could potentially mention the criticism of racial inequality, the praise saying it should be "in all libraries", criticism about the "entire swaths of the history of the Internet" missing from the book, or something like that.

- PCN02WPS ALT1: "... that the documentary Nerds 2.0.1 has been criticized for racial inequality among the 50 featured internet pioneers?" SL93 (talk) 23:00, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
looks good to me, passing with preference for ALT1. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:12, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
- PCN02WPS I think I found out why DYKcheck messed up the character count. I used DYKcheck on an earlier version of the article and the tool highlighted a bunch of white space. I know that this was approved, but I thought this was interesting and could help it get promoted if someone complains. SL93 (talk) 23:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
