QPQ:
- Not done
Overall:
Hello @Vortex3427: and thank you for getting this page to GA status! Going through each of the DYK requirements, your nomination checks out for all except the last one, which is your WP:QPQ requirement. To cut down on DYK review backlog, any editor that has nominated "five or more articles" must do a DYK review of another's to have theirs approved going forward. This appears to be your fifth nomination, and you have left the "reviewed" section in your nomination blank. Once you complete this, I have no objections passing the nomination. Cheers!

- Hey Johnson524, it looks like Vortex3427 hasn't been active since the 24th. If he doesn't reply within the next few days or so, is it okay if I do the QPQ for him? I was the one who pushed him to nominate this because I was a bit busy to do it myself, but I have time this week to review a hook. Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 05:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @PantheonRadiance: Yeah that works for me, especially since that's the only thing this nomination still needs 🙂 Johnson524 12:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Johnson524: Actually, using the QPQ checker, the nominator has only nominated three articles for DYK so far (the other article was nominated by another user: Template:Did_you_know_nominations/The_Backrooms), so a QPQ is not required. Sparkltalk 20:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ah okay, if that's the case then the hook should be good to go! Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 00:55, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Per above, cheers! Johnson524 12:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ah okay, if that's the case then the hook should be good to go! Thanks, PantheonRadiance (talk) 00:55, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

"Stopped making minecraft videos"
editThe second paragraph of the article claims Jordan stopped uploading Minecraft videos in December 2023, this is demonstrably false: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eOGuORYPTo.
I don't want to step on any toes editing the actual article because I don't really do Wikipedia much but I figured it should flagged. Mo3225 (talk) 05:50, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
