- Comment: This list lacked a lead before this expansion, so I believe it is still eligible.

5x expanded by SounderBruce (talk). Self-nominated at 02:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/List of WNBA seasons; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

SounderBruce The list article has been 5x expanded so it qualifies. The prose is supported by citations and references. I prefer ALT2 as the most interesting and it is repeated in the article's list with citations. I spot checks several references and did not find evidence of plagiarism and Earwig is 7.4% alerting to names. Please ping when a QPQ is completed. Bruxton (talk) 16:20, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I have added a second article (2024 WNBA season) to ALT2; since a portion of its text is derived from List of WNBA seasons, I'm not sure of its eligibility, but I think a double hook would work well here. Sounder Bruce 05:18, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bruxton: QPQ added. Sounder Bruce 06:20, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Approved ALT1 with the double hook. Second article is long enough, new enough, free of plagiarism, neutral, QPQ is done, and the hook is cited and in the article. Bruxton (talk) 02:18, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
