QPQ: None required.

Overall: Article was nominated for DYK within 7 days of reaching Good Article status. Article is over 1,500 words in prose, properly sourced, and written with a neutral tone. Earwig picked up an unlikely violation of 26.5%, which were mostly titles of short stories. Nominator has less than 5 nominations so a QPQ is not needed at this time. The hook is very interesting, but it'd be nice if you could directly list the sources used to support the hook instead of referring them to a section of the article. Other than that, it looks good and almost ready to go. lullabying (talk) 06:53, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Sure. See the "Black Holes" entry in Science Fiction Literature through History: An Encyclopedia at https://books.google.com/books?id=WETPEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA159. TompaDompa (talk) 16:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
