Moved to mainspace by Michael Barera (talk). Self-nominated at 21:31, 21 November 2021 (UTC).
While this article is long enough, it is not new enough. One has to go back to 2020 to find it 1/5 the size of today's article, so the expanded-5x-in-the-past-week prong of the newness test is not met. Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 03:40, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Among the three hooks ALT1 is probably the more interesting one here especially due to the mention of bed racing and whatever "oozeball" is. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:13, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Piledhigheranddeeper: The page was moved from Michael Barera's userspace into the mainspace on the same day as the nomination, and for DYK purposes that counts as new, so that reason for declining is moot and a full review should be done. eviolite (talk) 06:10, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
ALT1, as unable to check the offline source. This is definitely the preferred alternate hook (thank you Narutolovehinata5), as the mention of "oozeball" will draw the curious. Article is long enough and appears to fall within policy. Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 18:53, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
