The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page.

No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria - 5x expanded. Meets length expectations, is well sourced and is neutral. Earwig seems to be down, will come back for Copyvio checks, though I would be surprised if it shows up an issue. All good on Earwig. Hook is interesting and is cited / referenced to a FCC licensing letter / case finding. Question to the nominator - I think this sourcing is good, but, do you think this might constitute a primary source? In addition, can we find a secondary source as well. If this is difficult, I am good to go with this source. QPQ done. Ktin (talk) 17:35, 27 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Ktin: Any news report will necessarily quote this very letter; one such source is already included in the article generally. I think it is an acceptable source. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:53, 27 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
