... that Natasha Bowen debut novel Skin of the Sea Black Mermaids known as Mami Wata? Source: ^[1]

Created by Emmanuel okon269 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:46, 18 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]

General eligibility:

New enough: - This had to be nominated between November 7 and 14
Long enough: - Previously it met the criterion, now it needs another 5x expansion.

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing:
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - It needs to be rewritten as it misses a verb.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Emmanuel okon269: The article was created by Isabelle Belato on November 6. Although it was already elligible for DYK, Isabelle didn't nominate it. The next day you further expanded it. Per WP:DYKCRIT: For DYK purposes, a "new" article is no more than seven days old. The article is 11 days old by now, so it needs another 5x expansion.
