- It's kind of amazing that he's famous for being so bad at sumo wrestling. In his own way, he became more well known than probably countless OK sumo wrestlers. I admire that he kept at it for so long even though he was too small and could never really get a good win. BuySomeApples (talk) 19:45, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, BuySomeApples. Yes, his dedication was remarked upon by many, not least his stablemaster. The QPQ is now been done; I've added the link. One quick question, I wondered if the creator of the original draft that I got refunded and then expanded, Houmanumi, should also be credited?-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 20:00, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Pawnkingthree: Awesome! I approved the nom. I think it probably would be good to credit Houmanumi as well so I added him. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:06, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
