... that the Canadian League for Peace and Democracy organized a 10,000 person rally at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto to protest a 2,500 person rally of fascists? Source: "The League for Peace and Democracy filled Maple Leaf Gardens with 10,000 people. The CCF rally at Queen’s Park was the smallest of the three. The Provisional Anti-Fascist Committee’s protest would be the hardest to ignore. The first edition of the NUP newspaper, Le Combat national, claimed 2,500 people attended the Massey Hall rally,"

Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Canadian League for Peace and Democracy; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new enough and long enough. It is written neutrally and cited to reliable RS. No copyvio detected. Hook fact is verified to page 32 of the cited journal article. Hook is interesting and the appropriate length. The only issue I see is that the article is missing a short lead section which summarizes the article. Per WP:MOSLEAD articles should contain a lead section followed by at least one section title for the body of the article. This format issue needs to be fixed in order to pass the presentability criteria of WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Once that is done I can approve the hook.4meter4 (talk) 07:51, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I've incorporated the format suggestions, I believe. Please advise if it is now complete.Wellington Bay (talk) 11:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nicely done. Article and hook now meets all DYK review criteria. This hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 20:41, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
