Not going to review this, but I would like to say that the article is currently nominated to appear on ITN, which iirc means this DYK nom has to be put on hold until that's done. Scientia potentia est, MonarchOfTerror 09:25, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I probably won’t be able to have the QPQ finished for a bit anyways. B3251 (talk) 09:42, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Long enough, new enough, very well cited - not surprising given it's on the national news every day. QPQ and it's good to go. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Maury Markowitz: QPQ added, it's been getting absolutely ripped to shreds in ITN noms so I'm not sure if I need to wait for it to be closed or not, but it is not being promoted there lol. Thanks for the review, B3251 (talk) 16:16, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@B3251: It can’t be promoted at the present state it’s still technically pending nomination to appear as a bold link on the main page. I think the best course of action for you if you believe that the ITN nom is totally hopeless is to withdraw the ITN nom and just focus on DYK instead, unless you want to bet on the extremely low chance that the consensus at ITN somehow drastically changes.

@MonarchOfTerror: How do I withdraw it? B3251 (talk) 17:07, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@B3251: You do it by just closing the discussion as normal, just put withdrawn in the result parameter. However it seems that the nomination has already been closed by another editor, so there’s no need to do that now. The DYK can be promoted now. Scientia potentia est, MonarchOfTerror 17:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MonarchOfTerror: Thanks, but it seems that it was already closed. The editor who closed it also setup an AfD, so I'm not totally sure how this DYK can go. B3251 (talk) 17:29, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@B3251: I did not see the AfD nomination. So it looks like this DYK nom has to go on hold regardless, since we have to wait for the AfD to end first since articles nominated for AfD/merging can’t be promoted. Scientia potentia est, MonarchOfTerror 17:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been deleted at AfD, therefore the nomination fails.--Laun chba ller 11:16, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
