- N.B. I've got no DYK's, so I think I'm exempt from QPQ (but if I'm wrong then ping me here). Thanks, Pahunkat (talk) 19:36, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
Date, length and hook all OK (my preference is for the original). QPQ is not needed as this is the first nomination. No close paraphrasing. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:05, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
