Moved to mainspace by Hameltion (talk). Self-nominated at 21:58, 26 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Rex Parker; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Hameltion: Long enough, new enough. All ALTs cited, short enough, I'm not convinced ALT2 on its own would get me to click. No valid copyright concerns, no maintenance templates found, no neutrality issues found. QPQ done. Several statements look unsourced; uncontroversial statements such as name and date of birth come under WP:ABOUTSELF. Is there a reason his blogposts have been commented out?--Launchballer 13:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
