Overall: 
The DYK checker tool doesn't seem to recognize this as a five-fold expansion, despite it making the cut (383 characters → 1916 characters). SounderBruce 19:43, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- I think this should run in the quirky slot, but we need more quirk. The obvious ABBA (which does need linking) play on words must be exploited. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:53, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- Got to use something relating to The Winner Takes It All and Take a Chance on Me, surely..... The Rambling Man (talk) 19:55, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
- OK @The Rambling Man: @SounderBruce:, so how about: ALT1... that the 2018–19 EFL Cup will not feature ABBA and will have no extra time to ensure the winner takes it all? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 22:48, 9 June 2018 (UTC)
