Leafy46 (talk) 20:35, 17 June 2025 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was nominated for DYK within 7 days of being moved to mainspace. It is over 1,500 words, written neutrally, and is sourced. Earwig picked up an unlikely copyright violation of 9.9% and most of what Earwig picked up are quotations from the article. The article does not overquote the source and the sources used . QPQ is done. ALT0 is a good hook, but I also rewrote it for further elaboration; let me know if it's OK. Suggesting ALT0b: ... that the title of "Ben Franklin" originated from the "presidential-type beat" Internet meme? lullabying (talk) 02:39, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the review! I do still like my original hook just because less is more when it comes to punchiness, but there's obviously some bias in that analysis and I would be fine if a set-builder preferred your phrasing over mine (of course, assuming that this doesn't make the cut for an April Fools' hook).

pulled out of queue because we're going with a different hook for DYKAPRIL!
