Created by Remainsuncertain (talk). Self-nominated at 12:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Costco hot dog; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

article is new enough, long enough and within policy. Earwig is catching mostly quotes. The hook is short enough and within policy. QPQ not needed. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:27, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Remainsuncertain and Gonzo fan2007: ALT1 is 209 characters but we have a hard limit of 200. I like ALT0 and will promote it. Just may check at DYK Talk regarding the possible promo angle. Lightburst (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lightburst, ALT1 was added after my approval of ALT0, I never reviewed or approved ALT1. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 22:32, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
