Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Article was created on February 1, 2025, which is within the seven-day window required for DYK nominations and is of sufficient length. Article well referenced with RS supporting content. The hook and it's variation are informative and interesting enough but several intriguing aspects stand out that could serve as alternative hooks for the nomination, such as Reine being a pioneering female game designer in the region,e etc. Hooks supported by sources. QPQ done. el.ziade (talkallam) 10:17, 5 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
