- Note that the article is nominated at AFD currently at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2017 Notre Dame attack. Cowlibob (talk) 16:52, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Why would you nominate an article that is at AfD? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 05:11, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- Knowledgekid87 most likely because E.M.Gregory encouraged the nominator to do so on their talk page.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:31, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

This article is new enough and long enough. However, this is a BLP and realistically, the hook is a non-starter. The suspect is considered innocent until convicted in a court of law, so you will need a factual hook on another aspect of the incident. Nor will this nomination go ahead while the article has a neutrality tag, - Ikken is not a perpetrator or an attacker, he is a suspect at this time. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:28, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
I placed a reminder notification on Rævhuld's talk page on July 6, and it has already been archived. Since the hook is, as Cwmhiraeth notes, a non-starter, I have struck it. The nomination is over a month old; if a new hook isn't proposed within seven days, this will be marked for closure. I hope we hear something before then. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:54, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
Rævhuld has not edited on Wikipedia since July 2. Marking for closure per the above, though if action is taken before this is closed, the nomination can continue. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:38, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
- Rævhuld, you created this page. People usually don't create DYK nomination pages unless they want to nominate their article for DYK. If you don't want this to run at DYK, then we'll just close this. If, however, you do want it to run, then the nomination needs a valid hook per DYK and Wikipedia rules, and that's up to you to create and post to this page. Please let us know your preference. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:05, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
