Created by GDuwen (talk). Self-nominated at 18:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/John Buck Wilkin; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

Long enough. New enough. Dispassionate/neutral article with reliable inline citations throughout. The majority of the citations are available online. AGF on offline sources (books). Both hooks are cited; I find the main hook more interesting. QPQ done. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 03:42, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

@Hybernator and GDuwen: Someone ought to expand the GTO article since it is secondarily featured. Lightburst (talk) 18:11, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

@Lightburst: That article could use an expansion for sure. I haven't been interested in Wilkin's early career more than I've been in his fascinating, yet obscure material that he put out on his two solo albums. "GTO" has been paying the bills for years for him I suppose, but he also had a career as a songwriter that enjoyed some success in the early 1970s that still gets enough recognition from niche enthusiasts.--GDuwenHoller! 20:09, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
