Improved to Good Article status by Another Believer (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 20:02, 29 November 2022 (UTC).

• Just a passing comment: This sounds more like product promotion/advertisement than a DYK hook. Cbl62 (talk) 20:19, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
  • What about ... that the Daily Dozen Doughnut Company at Seattle's Pike Place Market uses a machine called the "Donut Robot" to make doughnuts? (or similar) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:22, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
• Not reviewing as I'm not eligible, but wanted to propose the following ALT hook:

• ALT1: ... that the Daily Dozen Doughnut Company has a 1930s "Donut Robot" making hot miniature donuts in its stall at Seattle's Pike Place Market? Cielquiparle (talk) 10:49, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

• Full review underway. Cbl62 (talk) 16:31, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
• I first rule out the alt0 hook as (i) it comes across as an advertisement for the subject business, and (ii) its emphasis on what "Michael Krondl" (someone not notable enough to be in the pedia says seems undue. Cbl62 (talk) 16:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
• Newness requirement satisfied by GA promotion on 11/26. Article is also long enough and neutrally written. Article was nominated for deletion last month by User:Reywas92 but that discussion closed with a "keep" determination. An earwig check turns up nothing nefarious. That alt1 hook is interesting, neutral, and short enough. The article uses in-line citations to support the hook fact, though not all of the sources are accessible on-line (the core element of the Donut Robot is confirmed). Good faith is assumed as to those elements. Cbl62 (talk) 16:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
  • @Onegreatjoke and Cbl62: seems to be called the "Donut Robot"... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 05:00, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
  • @Theleekycauldron: I've changed "doughnut robot" to "Donut Robot" it in the lede in the article, and in the hook above for consistency. I'm pretty sure it's spelled and capitalized in different ways across various sources, but the two sources cited for the first occurrence of "Donut Robot" definitely spell it that way, so it seems wise to be consistent. Thanks. Cielquiparle (talk) 05:15, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
