ALT2: ... that the restaurant New Krishna Bhavan started handling its own waste disposal after being extorted for bribes by garbage collectors? Source: https://www.thenewsminute.com/karnataka/meet-bengaluru-man-who-shows-zero-waste-restaurant-possible-little-effort-68558 "The first time Gopinath Prabhu wished there was a more effective way to get rid of the waste from his restaurant was in 2013. “The contractor assigned to us by the BBMP knew we didn’t have another option if he refused to send his lorry. He had been asking for more and more money for the last two years. He asked for a hike again and wouldn’t send his lorry unless I paid him Rs 7,000 a month,” Gopinath narrates."

Comment: The Hindu article in ALT0 and ALT1 may be paywalled, so check it here at the Wayback Machine. Replaced with archive links in hooks themselves.

Article looks fine, but I do have a few concerns. Firstly, the main articles link needs to be bolded. ALT0 and ALT2 are not that WP:DYKINT interesting, but ALT1 can work. In ALT1, the served should be serves, and you can make it 600 litres of sambar for conciseness. Also please add the wayback link and quote the source in their words per WP:DYKHOOKCITE just after the hook. You can also make it serves nearly 600 litres similar to the statement in the source.

@Bunnypranav:: Thank you for the feedback! I'll fix the ALT1 cite once I get to my computer, but I think it should be in the past tense since the restaurant shut down. Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/my edits) 10:30, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Please fix the cites for other hooks as well. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:09, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
Overall: All criteria checks out, strong preference to ALT1 due to the intrigue, I'll leave it to the promoter though. Live version of source is paywalled, but archived version exists, is linked, and checked by me. Only improvement can be to link the archived version for both the The Hindu sources in the article ref templates. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 13:08, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
Request: Can this go on the Main Page on November 1, for Kannada Rajyotsava? I want to get some other Karnataka-related articles all on the Main Page at once. If it isn't possible to schedule one so late, please proceed as is. Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/my edits) 13:17, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
The nomination should be made between at least one week prior to the occasion date [...] but not more than six weeks in advance. [...] The timeline limitations, including the six week maximum, may be waived by consensus, if a request is made at WT:DYK, but requests are not always successful. This is at Template talk:Did you know/Approved#Special_occasion_holding_area, so you need to post it at WT:DYK if you want an exemption. Also, I do not see any special relation to the Rajyotsava and this restaurant. ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 06:24, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
@Bunnypranav: Not related to the celebration itself, but still a Karnataka topic, which is what I intend to have all November 1 DYKs to be. I will post at WTDYK. Thank you for pointing me to the policy. Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/my edits) 09:31, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
Request withdrawn (see discussion here). Please go ahead with promotion. Kind regards, Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI (talk to me!/my edits) 12:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
