The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page.

No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: Fun little fact, makes a solid DYK. I like this because it's something I would have never looked up and would not have come across on my own. Is it the most shocking or exciting? No. Is it a good DYK? 100% Absolutely. Dr vulpes(💬 • 📝)21:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
After reading reliable sources link, it without question that using a press release, in regards of this article specifically, was valid. It only questioned the use of it for health- and science-related breaking news, which is not the case here. Thank you for the refresher. --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:30, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
