General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: - ?
Overall: The article was moved to the mainspace on October 28 and nominated the same day for DYK. Length and sourcing are adequate. The article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism was detected, and I note that Earwig highlights only proper nouns and directly attributed quotes which are not violations. The nominated image is freely licensed on the Commons, used in the article, and clear at a low resolution. The hook interesting, mentioned and cited in the article. I cannot access the sources, but will AGF and the image very clearly verifies the hook. The QPQ requirement at the moment only addresses the eligibility on size, not the other criteria yet. As per WP:DYKRR, this QPQ can be accepted when the full review is done. Thanks for the wonderful nomination! Flibirigit (talk) 18:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Flibirigit, as it is just about plausible that the target article could be improved further to meet the criteria, I have expanded it to a full review - Dumelow (talk) 07:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for expanding on the QPQ. This nomination is approved. Flibirigit (talk) 11:35, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
