Aomori Prefecture

Aerial view of Aomori Prefecture

Not a review, but the current hook is unsuitable as it does not meet WP:DYKMAJOR: it is more about Kirisuto no Haka rather than Aomori Prefecture itself. In addition, that specific angle was already rejected back when Kirisuto no Haka was itself nominated for DYK earlier this year. A new hook is needed here.

ALT1 sounds good, but it would need a precise timeframe, as it is a fact that is not definite and could change in the future. For example, “In, X, Aomori Prefecture…” Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 15:38, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

ALT1’s ref doesn’t mention a specific year, but see top of ref for ALT1a. MisawaSakura (talk) 16:10, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

How about: Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 13:00, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

This is silly: the point of DYK is to motivate/reward editors and offer readers interesting/significant hooks/articles; am striking the withdrawal and reviewing (though I did suggest the hook; not sure recourse to IAR is necessary); the hook is obviously about Aomori Prefecture, drawing attention both to its shape — in the way a museum label helps viewers look more closely at the item in question — thereby anchoring it in the mind for future recognition, and its septentrionality, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 05:03, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

Overall: nearly good to go, just one clarification needed: in paragraph 2 of the demographics section we seem to have birth rates of 1.21 and 1.24, the latter being higher than the former, or are the measures different? Thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 05:03, 6 November 2025 (UTC) Good to go, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 13:16, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

As here & [2], I think we can proceed regardless of the withdrawal, though perhaps without a credit; thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 13:16, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

• Close as withdrawn and in compliance with backlog needs.–Kevmin § 19:48, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

The article is far from timing out, and there appears to be interest in allowing the nomination to run regardless since it has no issues otherwise. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:47, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

This is a significant article about a significant topic. We could do worse than showcase it, thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 00:35, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
