Improved to Good Article status by Eiga-Kevin2 (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 20:37, 12 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Eiji Tsuburaya; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

As the article's nominator for both GA and FA, I approve of this nomination and, funny enough was considering nominating it myself before you posted this with something very similar to ALT2. Also, I would change the first suggestion's source to a more accessible one in English (the same thing is said in Tsuburaya's English-language biography (Eiji Tsuburaya: Master of Monsters. 2014 paperback edition on page 26). - Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 9:05, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced (as is every paragraph); ALT0 is the best hook. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done and image properly licensed. Good to go.--Laun chba ller 12:50, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
