 * Also pinging if they wish to add any DYK hooks. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:31, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: has he been featured in ITN before? If so, please inform me and I will withdraw this nomination. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:32, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article has been recently promoted to GA, is long enough, and meets policy on neutrality, plagiarism and sourcing. Hooks are all referenced in-line to offline sources, short and factual. I think the ALT1 is the most interesting, given Miyazaki's well-known works, and ALT2 close behind; the original hook is kind of bland unless it ties into The Wind Rises, which would bloat the hook. QPQ has been completed. Image is appropriately licensed, is of good quality, used in the article and appropriate for the hook.  Sounder Bruce  02:19, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
