This page is for listing all articles that are manually removed from DYK Prep, Queue, or the Main Page for whatever reason. Please add new listings to the top of the list, followed by the reason for removal (optional) and your signature. Please also make it clear from where the article was removed (i.e. was it Prep, Queue, or the Main Page). There's a big difference between removing it from Prep or Queue and removing it from the Main Page. Removed hooks from earlier years can be found on subpages: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.
