... that Babydog (pictured), who is a "little rascal who looks like a brown watermelon that loves everybody" and loves chicken nuggets from Wendy's, is a fixture in West Virginia politics?- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Josef Hoop
- Comment: Late nomination as this was at afd. Alt hooks welcome!

- Personally I think the hook is too long and has too many facts. Might I suggest: ALT1: ... that Babydog (pictured) loves chicken nuggets? (Source: https://www.washingtonian.com/2024/07/17/not-to-brag-but-i-personally-know-babydog/) Di (they-them) (talk) 02:22, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Given that the article was nominated late due to an AFD discussion, this will probably need to have an IAR exemption request at WT:DYK to run. For what it's worth I'd support an IAR just this once since I find the hook interesting and cute, but rules are rules. For next time, my suggestion would be that if you have an article that's been AFD'd, you should nominate it ASAP instead of waiting for the AFD to end, just to make sure it meets the 7-day requirement.

- @Narutolovehinata5: I asked for an exemption at Wikipedia talk:Did you know and consensus seems to me that it's OK, so it should be good to go if you want to review it. Di (they-them) (talk) 04:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

- Hooks need sources, so this one is sourced to: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/17/babydog-rnc-convention-jim-justice-west-virginia/ - Di (they-them) (talk) 04:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
