Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Krakkos, I’ve completed this review and I assess that this article and the hook meet or exceed all DYK criteria. The article became a GA on 23 October, so it is new enough. It is well sourced with verifiable references and it is plagiarism-free. The image of Nerman has been released to the Public Domain. The other images in the article are appropriate for use and are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 and CC BY-SA 3.0. The hook is hooky, I’ve verified its content from a reputable source using Google Translator for Swedish to English. West Virginian (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
