Created by Lettler (talk). Self-nominated at 14:27, 19 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/1976 Spring Hill shooting; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Source is paywalled but otherwise RS. Article is NPOV, new enough and long enough, and Earwig returns copyvio unlikely. The hook is interesting. It appears editor is still QPQ exempt, unless I'm missing something. Chetsford (talk) 22:43, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
