5x expanded by Olmagon (talk). Self-nominated at 20:01, 25 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Asiavorator; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article was significantly expanded within the allotted time. Hook is well sourced, as is the rest of the article. I think ALT1 is the better of the two hooks. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 21:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
