Post-promotion hook changes will be logged on the talk page; consider watching the nomination until the hook appears on the Main Page.

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: Approved. I couldn't help myself. ;) Prefer ALT0, of course; I find it more interesting, and it's a classic tidbit of electronic music trivia. @Skyshifter: However, if we end up going with ALT1, the quote needs attribution to its writer unless sources indicate this became a widespread nickname for Robinson. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again :) Regarding ALT1, Reason also called him "a libertarian dubstep guy", though I don't know if that's sufficient. I don't mind either hook, though. Skyshiftertalk 23:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
