 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new at the time of nomination, sizeable, and referenced. I would go with #1 or 4, with #8 in third. Alt 5 would work if the other two episodes listed were also DYK nominated. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:48, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Going with ALT4. Note that ALT3, ALT6, and ALT7 are ineligible because they do not contain any real-world element, a requirement for hooks about fiction. I've crossed them out. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:59, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
