- @TheFarix, G S Palmer, AngusWOOF, Wonchop, and Narutolovehinata5: - the Brock Lesnar comment caught my eye so I figured I'd review this one since the bot needs a human eye too. All hooks are in the article and sourced, checking sources they also look like they are covered by the actual sources. Long enough, well written. QPQ provided. Links are all live and good. Looking at the copyright tool it hits with 87.9% on an issue but it's a youtube video published in September 2015 and the text was in the Wikipedia article before that date so the Youtube post copied wikipedia. This is good to go. MPJ-DK 00:54, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Comment to promoter/nominator: I think Alt1 should be passed up in favor of one of the other hooks, since the manga hasn't ended yet. IMO, Alts 0 and 5 are the best, followed by 2, 4, & 3 (in that order). G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 01:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
