Comment: This is my 4th nomination, so QPQ doesn't apply. Though I created article on 11th Aug, it was completed 2 days back

Created by Seyamar (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

Article is new enough (3 days old) and long enough (over 26 kilobytes of prose text). Hook is interesting, cited and appears in the article. Picture criteria do not apply as the nomination has no picture. ~~However I am not sure about the copyvio status as Earwig's Copyvio Detector scored 49.0% for the URL sacred-texts.com/hin/m05/m05120.htm.~~ QPQ not needed as the nominator has less than 5 past nominations.

@JIP: a verse has been quoted from the ancient text Mahabharata (translation is not under any copyright, was published more than 100 years ago).Seyamar_(245CMR)^💬📜 15:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In that case there should be no problem. Earwig's Copyvio Detector is an automatic tool and could not have known this. JIP | Talk 16:54, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Result changed from "DYK?" to "DYKyes" as ancient texts do not fall under copyright. JIP | Talk 17:09, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
