The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
The article was nominated on the same day of creation, so is new enough. It is ~2000 characters, so is long enough. It reads neutrally, uses in-line citations, and shows no copyvio issues in the tool checker. The hook is short enough, interesting, and is cited in-line in the article. The QPQ has been done and there's no image to review. Everything looks good to go and AGF on the offline book sources. SilverserenC18:23, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
