  • This article was created by students for a Spring 2017 course, but the nomination was never transcluded on the DYK nominations page (see WT:DYK#Untranscluded nominations). I have improved the referencing and am submitting an alt hook for consideration. Yoninah (talk) 23:48, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
  • This article is a five-fold expansion and was new enough at the time it was nominated. The ALT1 hook facts are sourced inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I changed "birthing" to "birth" in the hook as being more natural usage. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:36, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
