• Article was promoted to GA on March 4 and is long enough at 10,190 characters. Earwig's Copyvio Detector's found no issues and the hook's claim is supported by the provided source. I think it's interesting enough and will pass this. Ruby2010 (talk) 02:20, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

This was pulled from a queue based on discussion here: Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#Whole_hog_barbecue. Marking for closure since the nominator has been blocked for sockpuppetry, but with no prejudice against another editor adopting the nomination and reverting the closure if they so desire.
