 * ... that you cannot delete Wikipedia's Main Page? Source: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/operations/mediawiki-config/+/refs/heads/master/wmf-config/CommonSettings.php#1853
 * ALT1:... that Wikipedia's Main Page is the most visited article on the site? Source: Isn't it obvious?
 * Reviewed: Not bothering, the Main Page is such a special page that it NEEDS to be on DYK with or without a QPQ.

Source added for main hook. Alt1 needs a source (You do need to cite that the sky is blue) --DannyS712 (talk) 01:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

This hook is false. The main page could be deleted, someone just has to modify MediaWiki:Mainpage first. Clever Wikipedians can always outsmart the software. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * and yet there is also MediaWiki:Group-sysop.css (starting at line 34)... --DannyS712 (talk) 01:33, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Special:ApiSandbox. Your anti-deletionist tricks are futile! &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 01:37, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Maybe I'm wrong --DannyS712 (talk) 01:39, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg No, no, no, you can't dismiss my attempts and let a utterly false hook get promoted to the main page so easily!. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 01:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * The above X symbol applies to the original hook. ALT1 isn't interesting enough, so there are no valid hooks and a new hook is needed. &#123;&#123;3x&#124;p&#125;&#125;ery (talk) 01:56, 1 April 2019 (UTC)


 * ALT2:... that Wikipedia's Main Page is the most amazing thing ever and you are reading it right now? Source: Yes
