Coming here from the AfD, which I discovered through ITN. Whatever happens to it eventually, we should hold this until after the AfD discussion closes. StudiesWorld (talk) 15:49, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
Agreed! It would be best to put this on ice until the discussion closes. Chetsford (talk) 16:44, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 On hold until discussion closes. We do this all the time. See Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines, rule D5: Articles nominated for deletion must go on hold until they have survived the deletion process. Note that it was not nominated when it was reviewed. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:36, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Chetsford, Hawkeye7, the AfD was closed as "keep but rename", so I have made the necessary adjustments to this template to reflect the article move (but the template itself should not be moved). However, the hook as written no longer works and has been struck; a new ALT will need to be provided. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:57, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but this appears to be one man's opinion. Shouldn't we attribute it to him? Yoninah (talk) 13:20, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
    No, it was an announcement by a high-ranking government official. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:40, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Isn't this the sentence containing the hook fact? PBS news correspondent Nick Schifrin has theorized that the Super-Duper Missile is, in fact, the AGM-183A, as has the China Times. Yoninah (talk) 23:45, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Nick Schifrin and the China Times are two separate people (the first is a natural person from the United States and the second is a juristic person from China). There are some other sources not included in the article that have made similar theorizations. I think this hook would become very long if we added exhaustive attribution to it. Chetsford (talk) 23:41, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
  • @Chetsford: OK, but on the surface, China Times is a newspaper. Perhaps you could mention the person being quoted there? Yoninah (talk) 14:49, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
  • I could. Let me know if you think that would be helpful. The reference is a straight news article, as opposed to an analytical piece, so I'm not entirely sure it would be correct to say the author (Feiau Jiang) theorized it as opposed to reporting the editorial belief of the newspaper or the consensus of their sources. But I'm fine either way, let me know what you think! Chetsford (talk) 20:25, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
  • But now I'm confused. Hawkeye7 said above that it was an announcement by a high-ranking government official. Is that referring to Feiau Jiang? Or is Jiang a reporter? Yoninah (talk) 20:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
    I was referring to the name "Super duper missile". Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:54, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Oh. Well then, we have two reporters theorizing that this is the Super-Duper Missile. Is this the hook you want? Yoninah (talk) 21:01, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah:, are you okay with this? Do you want a second opinion? Flibirigit (talk) 00:25, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Approving ALT1. It is properly mentioned inline, verified by the citation, and interesting to a broad audience. Article adheres to all other DYK criteria. Flibirigit (talk) 10:00, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
