Hook is definitely interesting, and article looks to be in good shape and first glance. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 02:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Comment @Nkon21:, please check the nomination date. Article was created on March 2th but wasn't nominated until March 28th. While a week is a standard DYK nom timeframe (plus, a few days of leeway), 26 days is a harder sell. Per WP:DYKNEW it is ineligible for DYK and I don't seen anything in the revision history that supports a 5x expansion rational. 🏵️Etrius ( Us) 03:33, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Jacob0790, as noted by Etrius, this article was, regrettably, nominated too late to qualify for DYK; 26 days is well beyond what I've ever known to be accepted at DYK even for a first-time nominator. Should the article at some point become a Good Article (after nomination and review passage), please do nominate it within seven days of passage and it can run at DYK then. Thank you very much for your interest in DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset:, I took your advice and nominated the article for WP:GAN. Please review it and provide your recommendations. Thanks. Jacob0790 (talk) 00:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Jacob0790, it will be picked up by a reviewer there in due course. I don't personally review GANs. Best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:01, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Aintabli for your time and the link to the books. Let me read them through. If any helpful information is there, I will replace the links in question. Jacob0790 (talk) 18:26, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

This is a really interesting choice for GAN. Here are some preliminary notes I made:

• Medium is not reliable, see WP:MEDIUM. Please remove it.
• I guess this link leads to a book, but there are no page numbers.
• I would steer away from using news sites as sources for historical articles. I could find several books that may be used to replace such sources in this article.
• Please remove blog sources like this one.
• I don't find Joy (dog)#Romanov family's dogs particularly relevant. At most, it can be a passing mention, but dedicating a whole section on dogs other than Joy goes outside the scope of the article. If it has not already been mentioned there, that information can be added to the articles of the other dogs' owners.
• It will take time to get to relatively minute details, but Latin species names should be italicized (specifically Canis familiaris in the infobox).
• Please use {{circa}} in accordance with WP:CIRCA.
• As a final note, I was unsure about quickfailing this article, because much of the sources might be a deal-breaker and require more time to work on. Aintabli (talk) 04:15, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
