Not a review, but the hook would be better if was truncated at 'July 2024' per WP:DYKTRIM.--Laun chba ller 00:05, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article is long enough and moved to mainspace one week before DYK nom. Article is well-sourced, presentable, and copyvio free. ALT0 is sourced and interesting; I truncated it per Launchballer's recommendation. No qpq needed. Approving ALT0, thank you for your nomination NeverBeGameOver!
