Template:Did you know nominations/Ancient Beringian
- 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 result was: rejected by Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:28, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Considering the merge discussion on the talk page appears to now have a clear "merge" consensus, I think BlueMoonset or another user should do the honors and merge this article already.

Ancient Beringian
[edit]- that the Ancient Beringian are the first population of Paleo-Indians, which migrated from Siberia across Beringia and into Alaska during the lithic stage approximately twenty thousand years ago?
Created by IQ125 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:04, 7 January 2018 (UTC).
New enough, long enough, neutral, cited (but see note after this line), no obvious copyvios (paraphrasing to be checked after cites are improved, again see note). Hook is on the border of being too long and should probably be cut down. There's about three distinct facts in there, if not more. A good interesting hook usually has at most two facts within it, usually one. The biggest problem here is the inline citations. Throwing seven inline cites on every sentence isn't particularly informative about where the information is coming from. Please improve the inline citations so that each sentence is cited only to the reference (or references) being used to support it. After that, I'll check for close paraphrasing and double-check that all of this is verified. ~ Rob13Talk 09:06, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Note: article has been proposed to be merged into another article; nomination is on hold until the merger proposal has been closed. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:44, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
- I think "Beringia" and "lithic stage" need explanation, perhaps wikilinks, and the latter is also a proper name and needs a capital. HLHJ (talk) 00:09, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
Marking for closure. This has been open over four and a half months, since the first week of the year, and the nominator has done nothing to answer issues raised in the Merge discussion and strongly resisted necessary improvements to the article text. If someone wishes to close or advance the merge discussion, then this could continue; otherwise, I think it's too late. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:25, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
