Created by Ktin (talk). Self-nominated at 00:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Dean Crawford; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Verified that the article is long enough, that there are no plagiarism concerns through the Copyvios tool and spotchecking, and that the hook is sourced in the article. Cunard (talk) 09:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The article was 5x expanded between January 15–16, 2024. Great work on the article! Ktin (talk · contribs), this will be ready once the "Reviewed" section is filled in. Cunard (talk) 09:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
