  • The article was't created by nominator, wasn't promoted to GA or FA, and wasn't 5x expanded. (The latest edit was on July 6, 2021) @Rillrilling: can you provide any reason why the article is eligible for DYK? Artem.G (talk) 15:15, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
And there's no link in the hook, I've added one. Maury Markowitz (talk) 01:52, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for this, but anyway, article is clearly not eligible. - it's not new, wasn't expanded or promoted to GA od FA. Artem.G (talk) 13:45, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Closer's comment to @Artem.G: I'm pretty sure that being promoted to FA doesn't qualify an article for DYK, and not being created by the nominator isn't disqualifying, either. But trifles, I guess. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 07:49, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
