Overall: 
Thank you for this enjoyable article. I am impressed with the tables, all fully cited, and easy to understand.
- I have given the article a minor copyedit, which does not affect this DYK nom.
This nomination is good to go. All the hooks are fine and cited inline in the article. ALT1a preferred, because it is fun. Storye book (talk) 09:11, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Which hooks are you approving @Storye book:?--Launchballer 18:07, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the prompt for that. I have added that info to the review above. Good luck and well done. Storye book (talk) 19:04, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
ALTS 1/1a have been removed from the article following my comment at WT:DYK. ALT0 is a bit promotionally-phrased considering the "always smiling" quote came from Virji himself, and ALT2 focuses on a different person. Any other ideas Launchballer? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:01, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not yet refamiliarised myself with the article, but DJ Mag mentions him having a "signature smile" and a "thousand-lumen smile". One of those would work. (Possibly showing my ignorance of grammar, but where in that Planet Woo source does it say that's a quote from him?)--Launchballer 12:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- ALT3: ... that record producer Sammy Virji studied biology at Newcastle University and became involved in bassline at that time? (Sources: [1] and [2]) Someone else other than me will need to review this hook. Storye book (talk) 13:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
