The result was: rejected by Narutolovehinata5 (talk) 11:43, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
Article was nominated for DYK far beyond the normal seven days. As the nominator has no prior credits, an IAR exemption could have been argued here, but a five-week delay is still significant enough that such a request would likely be denied. For the nominator, it is suggested that for their next nomination, they nominate the article within seven days of the article being created, a 5x expansion being accomplished, or being promoted to GA status.

Improved to Good Article status by Krakkos (talk). Self-nominated at 15:41, 22 October 2020 (UTC).

This was listed as a Good Article on September 13, over five weeks prior to it being nominated. Nominations must occur within seven days, and this is over a month beyond that deadline. Regrettably, it is not eligible for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:18, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
