• Article just long enough at 1695 characters. DYK is indeed not needed, hook verified and interesting. Article well-referenced with no major hits from Earwig - there's a sentence that hits, but that's half quote, half you can't exactly rephrase anyway. Good to go.

• @Di (they-them) and Juxlos: Given the relatively obscure/low reputation of OutdoorHub, I'd wager that it's a typo or retcon from the overwhelming consensus in more reliable sources for "Pablo Eskobear". Can the hook be rectified? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 04:08, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
  • ScreenRant also uses Escobear, but well Eskobear will probably be easier to support. Juxlos (talk) 04:21, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
    • ScreenRant also probably doesn't beat the sources for Escobear, so, I'll put an ALT1 down... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 04:23, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

      • Apologies, I didn't realize I had to respond. I see no issue with the alt. Di (they-them) (talk) 20:45, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

• Comment: @Theleekycauldron and Di (they-them): I was going to promote this but I am confused about Escobear and Eskobear. If we are going to use the latter shouldn't it be in the article? Escobear is clearly in the article. Bruxton (talk) 16:28, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
