Overall: 
Both articles are new enough and long enough (Slag Wars doesn't register as 5x by the DYK tool, but comparing the pre-expansion version it is 7x). All of the hooks are cited and meet DYKINT, though my personal preference is ALT2 (ALT0 focuses on a third party, ALT1 relies on knowledge of Healy, and ALT3 is "people get famous, are featured on BBC"). Images both appear free, being extracted from free videos. No close paraphrasing found - Earwig flags one source at 53%, but that's because of the large block quote. Looks good to go! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:51, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! The reason Slag Wars doesn't register as 5x is because DYKcheck picks up stuff from this version, which picks up around 563 false positive characters from an unformatted list.--Launchballer 22:00, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- I figured it was something like that. I do like this approach to 5x... cleaning up an article only to find it was disqualified by things beyond your control used to suck.Crisco 1492 mobile (talk) 02:55, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- This is getting perilously close to timing out. What else do I have to do to get this promoted?--Launchballer 14:57, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
