  • checkY Article is long enough (4876 characters), is a GA, nominated in time (became GA on 4 January, nominated 5 January), and article is within policy
  • checkY Hook is short enough, interesting, in the article, and well cited
  • checkY As the user did a review for this previous DYK nomination, they are still within their 5 QPQ-free articles. So QPQ exempt
