Donald Trump (Last Week Tonight)[edit]
- ... that on Super Tuesday, Google Searches for "Donald Drumpf" surpassed those for Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio?

- @Yoninah: Just a point of interest, what happens on June 8? epicgenius (talk) 01:38, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
It's new enough, it's long enough, QPQ done, and the hook is in the article and cited to NYT. The article has attracted some controversy, of course, but no deal-breaker problems (And we want to be sure we make a good deal after all .... sorry :) ). I don't have an opinion about the timing issue mentioned above and will leave that to the editors promoting/scheduling the hook. I do want to say that I'm operating under an assumption that I hope someone will call out if it's incorrect: the hook is very US-centric in the information it omits. My assumption is that because we're linking to the Super Tuesday, Cruz, and Rubio articles, it's ok to omit the fact that we're talking about the 2016 US Presidential election/candidates. Apologies if that's a bad presumption (only my second DYK review). Otherwise, good to go. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:10, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- Just a drive-by observation from a non-USA resident: I had to check the template's history to see if this was vandalism (Trump->Drumpf?), then had to Google it to see if was a spoof or a typo. It's really not clear. Maybe add sic in the hook might make sense. If it's a USA in-joke, its missing others by. I would also suggest it seems appropriate to post after your elections. Much as I dislike all he stands for, should Wikipedia be promoting what I assume to be insults on its home page whilst an election is in progress?Parkywiki (talk) 15:38, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- I don't think the sic is necessary because the term is in quotes, and that's the term that was searched. If you had clicked on the article link, you'd see the meaning behind "Drumpf", which is the point of a good hook. (Also, the guy who did the segment is British.) – Muboshgu (talk) 15:46, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Trump is now the presumptive nominee; AP says he reached the delegate threshold. I don't think we need to hold this any longer. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:28, 27 May 2016 (UTC)- This article is now a Good Article as well. As a courtesy, Another Believer may be interested in attribution in this article since he worked on improving it to Good Article status, and since a recent good article status also qualifies the article for Did You Know.
