- Comment: I believe I might have nominated this slightly too late; however, I'm hoping that it can be extended under Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines section four clause D9, which states The "seven days old" limit can be extended for a day or two upon request.

Created by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:42, 15 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Dean Faithfull; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough (the article was moved to the main space on June 7th, and nominated for DYK on the 15th); long enough; dispassionately written article with reliable references throughout. Both hooks are interesting and cited. I prefer ALT1 as I find it more interesting. QPQ isn't done yet. Do the QPQ, and we're good to go. Hybernator (talk) 00:45, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
