The article meets DYK requirements and is free from close paraphrasing. QPQ is still pending. All hooks are cited inline and either cited to paywalled sources or are not accessible to me so AGF. Among the three hooks, I think only the first hook is truly promising here (being the 47th largest company in an industry doesn't by itself seem that interesting). However, even that hook honestly feels a little pedestrian especially to non-techies. Perhaps you can suggest other hooks here as well? We can go with ALT0 if there are no alternatives but honestly I'd rather go with a different direction from ALT0. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:27, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: QPQ done. How about ALT0a?: ... that Nippon Steel, one of Japan's largest steelmakers, sold notebook computers in the U.S. in the early 1990s? DigitalIceAge (talk) 19:48, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
I think ALT0a is much better since it gives additional context about Nippon Steel that the original hook didn't have. Let's go with that. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
