I have heard of Kitchener ON before, but I had no idea it used to be named Berlin. Interesting. The article is new prior to nomination and over 22kb of prose. There's citations in every paragraph. Each hook fact is interesting enough and present in the article with an inline citation. Earwig finds copyvio to be unlikely. QPQ exempt. Congrats on your first! – Muboshgu (talk) 19:09, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't see how this is eligible. It was created on April 5 and nominated on May 2. SL93 (talk) 00:37, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I am restating the approval per WP:IAR after asking about it on the DYK talk page. I feel like this one exception is fine as an editor's first DYK nomination. SL93 (talk) 01:34, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I appreciate the leeway you've afforded my clumsiness here. I'll make sure to be a little more timely next time! Thanks. Tkbrett (✉) 01:42, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
