Moved to mainspace by Max263 (talk). Self-nominated at 13:24, 22 January 2023 (UTC).[reply]
Recently moved to the mainspace, is (just) long enough, doesn't have copyvio and nominator is exempt from QPQ. I have one big and one minor problem. The main issue is that I'm unsure if this is actually notable. The Tubefilter piece is not significant coverage, and I think the only source good enough to contribute to notability is the Forbes article. Got any additonal sources that can be used? The small problem is the hook: it's quite misleading *but* I think it can be run on April Fools Day it its current state. If you want it to run on a normal date it should be altered. ~StyyxTalk? 23:26, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the hook in its current state is misleading – I've added an alternative above. If there is another way to phrase "accidentally re-created" then please add it as an ALT, as I would quite like it to run on a normal day. In terms of sources, the Forbes article would be best I think, as I agree that the Tubefilter article is not significant. The Los Angeles Times article does make the subject more notable I think, however it (annoyingly) does not mention the Office situation in the article.

Max263, okey dokey lokey, ALT1 is good to be run on a normal date. The only problem is a paragraph in the "2021–2023: Rhett & Link investment and shows" section not having a source, unless leeky has something else to add. ~StyyxTalk? 21:52, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Styyx, There are only primary sources available for that paragraph, which is unfortunate but it can be removed if necessary. Max263 (talk • contribs) 18:13, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Max263, I don't see a DYK rule that phobits primary sources, though it is advised to not use them for "large passages". I ran the numbers and without that paragraph it's still above the minimum 1500 characters so it can be removed as well. I'm leaving it up to you here. ~StyyxTalk? 20:53, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Styyx, I have added back the sources, which I believe follow the policy as they are minor and easily verifiable, and contribute to a notable paragraph. Is the hook ready for DYK now or is there more work that needs to be done? Max263 (talk • contribs) 21:03, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1 is indeed ready to be run, as I said above.
Giving the green tick after all issues have been resolved. ~StyyxTalk? 21:05, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Brilliant. Thank you very much for reviewing. Max263 (talk • contribs) 21:22, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
