QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just know that I legit searched for Nouni on YouTube (and got amazed by him) as soon as I read this hook, so that alone guarantees you a green tick. But jokes aside, this looks like a great introduction to a very interesting topic, although it might be considered as a "niche" one; I'd prefer one between ALT0, ALT0a and ALT0b hooks. Plus, every parameter looks good, including your QPQ review. On a side note, I just wanted to notice that this article does feature a suitable picture: did you choose to keep it out on purpose? But anyway, thank you for this nomination: you genuinely made my day! Oltrepier (talk) 16:11, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

• @Oltrepier: Thanks for the review! Yeah, I chose not to include the picture because he's kind of covering his face, and none of the other options are super high quality either. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 20:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

• @Hameltion: I think this pic might have been good enough, to be honest... But anyway, thank you for clarifying it, and congratulations! Oltrepier (talk) 20:56, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
