QPQ: Done.

Overall: In good faith I am overlooking the newness eligibility, however I would request the promoter also agree to this in principle as a second opinion. Please remove the see also section. A handful of information is referenced to a primary source however as there are other sources as well, this doesn't seem a problem. Everything else with relation to a DYK nom seems alright. Crosji does not require a QPQ, however it was nominated by Gerda Arendt, so a qpq review is required.
I just noticed that the article was featured in the ITN section on 12 September 2021. Does the ITN canel out this DYK nom? DTM (talk) 11:36, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise about the newness. The date on my mind was when I looked at it, not when it was created. As it was only in the Recent deaths section of the Main page, it's still eligible. I reviewed now Template:Did you know nominations/Theodora Wilson Wilson. (missing sign Gerda Arendt)

Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:51, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Promoter's comment yeah, I'm willing to give Gerda leeway on this one, although it is rather late. I added two credits in the prep set. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 23:16, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
