- Comment: As far as I'm aware, there's no rule that says I can't renominate an article if its pre-GA nomination timed out. The image is part of a Creative Commons video, which was removed at the GA review. Also, pinging @It is a wonderful world: on the off-chance there are better hooks in the article.

- Comment (not a review): Alt2 compelled me to click on chip butty, not on Fishwick. Might not be the best way to direct traffic to the Fishwick article. Cbl62 (talk) 15:19, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
Promoted to GA recently enough. I trust that the GA review addressed any sourcing or content concerns. I really like ALT1, it's really funny to think about. The hook isn't sourced here, but it is in the article and I checked the source and it checks out (at 17:28). The previous DYK nom timed out so this should be fine. Approved for ALT1, cheers!
