Comment: This is only my fourth DYK nomination ({{tla|Did you know nominations/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|1}}, {{tla|Did you know nominations/Cozmo|2}}, {{tla|Did you know nominations/Pride Month|3}}), so a QPQ shouldn't be needed

Moved to mainspace by DecafPotato (talk). Self-nominated at 23:58, 14 November 2022 (UTC).

16px Article appears new enough and long enough. Hook is interesting and cited. QPQ is unnecessary, as stated. Seems good to go! I'd go with the top hook, Alt1 may be unnecessarily vulgar for front page and Alt2 is a tad too vague for my liking. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 04:30, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
16px pulled from prep to account for an ongoing merge discussion. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:51, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
{{yo|Krisgabwoosh}} 16px merge discussion has closed; article remains, with new article merged into it. New review needed to account for new article content. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:08, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
16px It appears that the merge hasn't opened any serious citation issues and the hook claim remains in the article, so I'd still support ALT1. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 22:11, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

16px The article has [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe&diff=1130969254&oldid=1130746056 now been merged] into Mario Kart 8 so Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is at present a redirect. - Aoidh (talk) 03:08, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
