Space, the final frontier....., oops sorry distracted by the Space Force's Star Trek logo! Date, length and hook all OK. My preference is for the original as it is hookier. QPQ not needed as this is the nominator's 5th nomination. No close paraphrasing, picture licence fine. Make it so @Illegitimate Barrister:. The C of E God Save the Queen!

I have pulled this from the queue as I could barely find a reference for the subject matter, let alone the hook. Three of the four references in the article don't appear to mention space force uniforms at all, and the one that does only says that one particular outfit appears to be based on an airforce uniform - but even that obviously differs in insignia. If I've missed something, please point me to it, but right now this article looks like original research to me. Gatoclass (talk) 18:59, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
- Pinging Illegitimate Barrister; it is important that you respond here if you wish to pursue this nomination. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:39, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- Also uniforms is an WP:EASTEREGG. We should include a couple more of the preceding words. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 00:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
- ALT0a: ... that the uniforms of the United States Space Force (example pictured) are the same as the U.S. Air Force?
- Would that be an acceptable rewording? Or would it be better to just link "the same uniforms" to the hook subject? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:23, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Illegitimate Barrister was pinged here on February 12 and on their talk page on February 16 and did not respond to either one, though they hand-archived the latter post. Marking nomination for closure, since this was pulled from queue for significant reasons including original research, and no edits to the prose or sourcing have been made in the three weeks since.

- I've left them a final message. If they do not respond within the next few days, or archive the message I leave them without responding, it might be a sign that they are no longer interested and thus the nomination can be closed. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
- Giving a courtesy ping to the co-creator Garuda28 for their thoughts on the nomination, and to request for their input here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:44, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
