This isn't eligible as it wasn't recently created, expanded 5x, or promoted to GA class in last 7 days WP:DYKNEW. The hook is sufficiently interesting.Brindille1 (talk) 02:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Brindille1 - it was expanded 114x (from a redirect) on March 20 [1]. Chetsford (talk) 02:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see- I'm new to using the DYK check tool and for whatever reason it flagged this as not being expanded. Reviewing now. Brindille1 (talk) 02:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As discussed above, this meets newness. It meets length, and the hook is interesting. No problems from EarWig, and I'm good with Ballot Access News as a reliable source. Just waiting on QPQ, but once that's done I'm good to approve this.
