    • Comment to promoter: This would be great if held for December 5th, National Pigs in Blankets Day, and run during UK daytime!
    • Comment to reviewer: Just a heads up about this creation...there'd been a split proposal at Pigs in a blanket for years. I came in on the 21st when there were just a couple of sentences about this subject in that article and started fixing. I got it to the point I thought it could be split, and on the 22nd I split it off, and I think I added sufficient readable prose but wanted to make sure the sequence of events was clear to the reviewer that the prose was added to an existing article prior to splitting. I'm not actually sure that is kosher here, you might want to open a section at talk. :D

  • ... New enough, long enough, QPQ provided, image clear and free. Hook in article followed by several citations to references containing hook fact. Reads well although the article could be structured with sections. No copyvio issues. I think it is a good dyk and not to worry about how it came from a redirect.

  • Comment. It may be just me, but is this true? I have attended many Christmas dinners and have never seen pigs in a blanket. I see the hook is based upon a "Tesco Christmas report" of "the nation". The whole nation or a few people in a focus group? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:00, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
ALT1 that pigs in blankets (pictured) aren't pigs in a blanket? Philafrenzy (talk) 09:00, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Approving ALT1. Awaiting comment from @Valereee: regarding comment. Thanks @Philafrenzy:. Whispyhistory (talk) 10:28, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Whispyhistory, oh, I like that ALT! Yes, that's fine with me! Valereee (talk) 13:19, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks @Valereee:.... Let's keep ALT1. FYI... Google scholar comes up with lots of interesting articles pertaining to pigs in blankets. [1]. Whispyhistory (talk) 13:32, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the review, both! And for the google scholar, I'll go see if I can find more! Valereee (talk) 14:26, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
Whispyhistory, National Pigs in Blankets Day is going to be December 5th, would you be willing to move this to Template_talk:Did_you_know/Approved#Special_occasion_holding_area? Valereee (talk) 12:27, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
TSventon, I created all of that content from what had been a couple sentences in the original article to see if I could find enough to justify splitting, then when I saw it was enough I split the article and continued to expand. I'm interpreting our rules as allowing this, but feel free to open a section at talk to discuss! Valereee (talk) 16:45, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for comments. It looks fine to me. Whispyhistory (talk) 17:10, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
@Valereee:, sorry, I missed that you were moving text you had newly added. On that basis it looks fine. TSventon (talk) 17:38, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
No worries, I brought it up myself in the note to reviewer above. :D Valereee (talk) 17:41, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
