The article is new enough (just from today), long enough (1578 words), and afaics there are now policy issues. I see no issues with the hook, and prefer alt 1. No image; the QPQ has been done. Aza24 (talk) 21:04, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
- Piotrus, I'd like to avoid the "the The". I'd recommend replacing "the The Gods from Outer Space comic book series" with either "the Gods from Outer Space comic book series" or "the comic book series The Gods from Outer Space". If you don't decide, there's a very good chance that someone else will change it one way or another sometime before or during its Main Page appearance.

- @Mandarax: How about we just remove the first 'the' in the hook? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:22, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Well, that would actually be my fourth choice. I'll leave it to you to decide among that, the original, my two options, or something else. Of course, whatever you chose, someone may still end up changing it anyways. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 08:21, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- As I prefer my solution, I am also fine with leaving it to the promoting admin to toss the dice or carry out the minor c/e that they prefer. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:39, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

- Promoter's comment this isn't going to make anyone happy, is it? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 23:01, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
