• Article is new enough, more than long enough, and very well sourced. Hook is interesting and well-sourced, with a minor problem: while the source is Taiwanese, the article does not actually state that the worship actually takes place in Taiwan. Maybe just drop "in Taiwan", especially since the article mentions other countries like Malaysia as well? ALT1 is a bit dull, ALT2 is otherwise OK but "is said to have" is a bit weak. The image would otherwise be good, but it's a bit muddy/unclear and the dog is barely visible. (Not a blocker though, the image is optional anyway). Jpatokal (talk) 23:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

    • @Jpatokal:, Thank you for noticing. These days, I have returned to the U.S. and have had no time to edit on Wikipedia. Please pardon me. I have now fixed the issues you requested. Thanks. TheGreatPeng (talk) 06:46, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
      • Thanks, but I'm not actually seeing any changes...? Jpatokal (talk) 12:04, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
        • I just removed "in Taiwan". TheGreatPeng (talk) 12:28, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
          • Looks good, ship it! Although I don't think the image will work in its current form. Jpatokal (talk) 11:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
    • Thank you so much. I already fixed image blur and color tone. TheGreatPeng (talk) 13:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
• Request' - Hi, DYK promoter, As a newbie, I have made 4 or 5 DYK articles, but none of them were chosen with a photo. So if possible, please promote this DYK with an image. Thanks TheGreatPeng (talk) 13:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
  • @TheGreatPeng and Jpatokal: the article contains significant WP:PLAGIARISM of non-English copyrighted sources, breaking WP:NONENGPLAG. For example, the paragraphs beginning "According to folklore..." and "There is also a legend..." are functionally identical to direct translations of the cited sources. The article needs significant rewriting, or this nomination will be rejected. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:53, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
