  • @Crispybeatle: Unless I'm missing something, it looks like you are nominating two completely separate articles, with the intent of having both hooks run. Dual nominations like this are reserved for when you're nominating a hook that includes multiple bold-faced articles. Please create a separate nomination for Canción Animal. Otherwise, a reviewer looking at this may approve only one of your hooks. (Also, the article you're nominating should be in boldface for both hooks.) Epicgenius (talk) 13:36, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
Rejecting Canción Animal as ineligible per WP:DYKNEW (it's currently a GA nominee only); full review needed for Arthur Herbert Thompson.--Launchballer 11:12, 5 September 2025 (UTC)
Reviewing Thompson only. The article was promoted to GA status within seven days of the nomination. I did not find any close paraphrasing, and the article is adequately sourced. No QPQ is needed for a nominator with less than give nominations. The hook is awkwardly written: I would instead suggest wording along the lines of "that footballer Arthur Herbert Thompson was killed on the first anniversary of his brother's death?" (I'm not sure if the mention of the battle is necessary or not). The main issue I have right now is the sourcing: neither of the sources used to cite the "death anniversary" angle actually confirm that September 25 was his brother's date of death. One source does not mention Sidney's date of death at all as far as I can tell, the other says he disappeared on that day but does not outright say he died then.

@Crispybeatle: Please respond to the above review as the nomination may be closed if the issues with the hook and sourcing are not addressed. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:52, 6 October 2025 (UTC)
I don't want to proceed with DYK hook, please close it.
