5x expanded by Olmagon (talk). Self-nominated at 20:01, 25 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Asiavorator; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article was significantly expanded within the allotted time. Hook is well sourced, as is the rest of the article. I think ALT1 is the better of the two hooks. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 21:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
