Comment: The DYK check is wrong when it says that the article has not been expanded at least 5x. It was 810 characters of prose prior to expansion, and it is now 4,059 characters of prose. 810 times 5 is 4,050.

5x expanded by SL93 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 406 past nominations.

If the hook must be independent of the subject, I have -
ALT1 ... that Cornell College professor Harriette Cooke was also a deaconess? SL93 (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Approving ALT1. Article is long enough and 5x expanded on the day of DYK submission. Article is presentable, well-sourced, and copyvio-free. QPQ done. Both hooks are interesting and sourced; however, I feel ALT0 is a little verbose and could be worded in a way that flowed better. Other than that, all good to go. Thank you for the nomination SL93!
