Dick Megugorac
... that customizer Dick Megugorac was known simply by his nickname, "Magoo"?
Created/expanded by Trekphiler (talk). Self-nominated at 10:31, 16 September 2018 (UTC).
- "the subject may not be notable" You really are clueless, aren't you? Magoo was doing custom jobs before Boyd was even born, & he has a page. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 13:01, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
- I would like to remind you of the no personal attacks policy. Calling other editors "clueless" is not kosher, and the reason you cited above is actually not a valid argument for the notability of an article. If sufficient sources are added to the article to demonstrate notability, I would be happy to withdraw my nomination. Catrìona (talk) 22:12, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
- The AfD has closed as "no consensus", but a new hook will be needed, as the one proposed is indeed not interesting, and has been struck. Trekphiler, can you please propose an alternate hook, so the review can proceed? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:46, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- As this is your 6th nomination at WP:DYKN, please provide a QPQ. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:33, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
- Since I'm getting complaints about not doing formal reviews, go ahead & withdraw this. I won't be nominating any other pages. Ever. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 02:13, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Ping Please reconsider your withdrawal. WP:QPQ is not a punishment, it's merely a practice that's intended to help lessen the backlog here at DYK. It's not difficult to do a DYK review; all you need to do is to check if a nominated article folows the rules and the supplementary guidelines. If you're having trouble with reviewing, you can always ask for help from other editors who can mentor you on such things. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:28, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

It has been twelve days without a response, and this cannot proceed without a valid hook. Since the nominator asked for this to be withdrawn over two weeks ago, if nothing further is supplied before someone comes to close this, it should be closed as withdrawn rather than rejected outright. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:04, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
Template:Ping How about these hook proposals? Can they work?
- ALT1 ... that Dick Megugorac and his brother-in-law Carl Riggen founded Riggen Slot Cars, which would become one of the largest slot car manufacturers in the United States?
- ALT2 ... that the custom cars of Dick Megugorac were described as "bulletproof" on reliability and "could be driven anywhere"?
- ALT3 ... that customizer Dick Megugorac's project cars were featured on magazines such as Hot Rod, and he has been inducted in the National Rod & Custom Hall of Fame?
- Granted, I'm not particularly fond of any of these proposals, these are just ideas to see if any could work as hooks. The article is pretty interesting and it would be sad to see the nomination fail. If none of these work, you are free to close this. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:24, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
