Comment: This is my first time doing a DYK nomination, so I hope I'm doing this right

Is it proper to mention his recent passing? e.g. that the recently-deceased YouTuber Technoblade... or that YouTuber Technoblade (1999–2022)...SWinxy (talk) 02:21, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Makes sense, I've added that to the sentence. X-Editor (talk) 03:30, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
@X-Editor: It's not entirely necessary to mention the death as SWinxy suggests. ... that YouTuber Technoblade beat the video game Minecraft in hardcore mode using a racing wheel? was a solid hook. If you want to make it more obviously the subject is not alive, you can use the term late instead of recently-deceased (also the recently part is relative; we don't know when the hook is going to go live). –MJL‐Talk‐☖ 03:49, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
I'll give this article a review in just a bit; X-Editor, if you want to add an alt hook including "late" or something discussed above, you are free to do that and I can potentially approve that hook as well. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:21, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Overall: This nomination looks good, the hooks are cited and interesting. Re: the debate on whether to mention his recent death, I don't think there's any policy for or against it, so I'll leave the choice in hook phrasing up to the promoter. Article is recent, well sourced and long enough. The article was technically on the front page in the Recent deaths section, but it wasn't a bolded link. It looks like the copyvio on Earwig is from sites which copied the Wikipedia page, so it's fine on that count. @X-Editor: Nice job on your first DYK nomination!

@BuySomeApples: You're welcome! I think ALT2 is my preferred phrasing. X-Editor (talk) 23:43, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
I'm more partial to "ALT1"; feels less clinical than "deceased" but it's not a euphemism either. Ovinus (talk) 02:42, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
