- The hook is interesting and the article is new enough. I'll be checking through the rest of the DYK reqs shortly. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 00:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Article appears to be free from copyvio, and the hook is backed up by a paywalled hook reference that I will AGF. I think the lead of the article could be expanded some before appearing on the Main Page. Once that's done I think it should be good to go! ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 01:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've touched up the article and expanded the lead as suggested. Thanks for the review, and I believe it's now ready for further consideration. RadicalUranium (talk) 23:34, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- @Mccunicano: I'd make sure to use the updated name of the article, Great Salt Lake whale hoax, as the word "myth" appears in this nomination. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
