References

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: New enough? Yes: Moved from draft on 11 Jan.. Long enough? Yes. Sourced? Partially: I understand the PLOT policy on Wikipedia, but the Plot subhead doesn't seem like a plot itself (as in a movie or series). You should insert references to verify the claims of the games, show, etc. Plagiarism, etc.: 28.1% by Earwig, fine. Hook cited and interesting? Yes. QPQ: N/A, none required. I completely discard ALTs 1 & 2, as well as #3 and #4 (less interesting, the latter two). CoryGlee 21:52, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

I added some sources to the plot section, are they enough? Finnfrog99 (talk) 22:46, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Sure, please stylise (whitespace, etc.) formatting, and it's a tick. :-) Please ping me when done, so I can reply faster. CoryGlee 03:43, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

@CoryGlee: What exactly needs to be fixed? I'm a bit new to this lol Finnfrog99 (talk) 14:53, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

@Finnfrog99: I approve this nomination and welcome to DYK. In case you want to read WP:LQ and WP:MOS (generalities) for italics i.e. Irish Independent, etc. But that's not of major concern for this nomination now :-) Great job. CoryGlee 16:09, 16 January 2026 (UTC)
