  • Review: Images are free-use. Nominator performed a QPQ review (I validated the review, linked above). CopyVio tool does not show any issues. Article is neutral, and uses citations and reliable sources. Article meets minimum size requirement (contains 427 words and 2600 characters). Article is new: created June 10, 2025, nominated on the same day. The hook is interesting, and the citation is valid and supports the fact in the hook. I took the liberty of updating the original hook by adding the title of the book. (Nominator: if you prefer the original wording, feel free to revert, and I can add the other wording as an Alternate hook.) All DYK criteria are met, passing this.

    • Self-undo promotion as I realised the hook is 198 characters, just under the WP:DYK200 limit. I think the hook could be shortened but I'll let another promoter decide. JuniperChill (talk) 17:04, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
