Comment: While I have multiple DYK awards, I don't think I've ever nominated a page before! Eager to learn if this passes the criteria. Thanks
Overall: Hey Lugnuts! I'll review this one. The article is: new enough (created May 3), long enough (about 2,100 bytes), well-sourced and neutral. No copyvios. Hooks are interesting and not too long. QPQ done. Looks good to go. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:21, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you mean how long it will be on the main page, the answer is between 12 and 24 hours, depending on how many hooks have been promoted. If your question is how long it will take until its on there, I'm not exactly sure. Its usually been about 10-25 days between the nom and main page appearance for my DYKs. Hope that answers your question. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:55, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
