• The article is the result of a major rewrite over much of this summer, which appears to have increased the quality quite a bit. Unfortunately however, it does not as far as I can determine fulfil the DYK criterion of being new enough, in that no five-fold expansion has taken place in the last seven days before it was DYK-nominated. Unless I have missed something completely in this regard, I am afraid it is not eligible for DYK. Yakikaki (talk) 16:55, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

• Following a brief discussion on my talk page, I understand now that the nominator wanted to nominate this DYK in connection with the article getting GA status. I believe the nominator didn't understand the process fully, that it has to be nominated for DYK after passing GA, not after being nominated for GA. Some more experienced user can perhaps advise how we should proceed in this case. Should the nomination be failed (and can it then be re-submitted once the article has passed GA?), or can it be withdrawn somehow? Yakikaki (talk) 18:27, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
