• ... that United States senator Bernie Sanders said that he became interested in politics because of Adolf Hitler being elected as Chancellor of Germany in 1932 which eventually led to the Holocaust?

Article in good condition, well referenced and neatly written. First time doing this! Any advice welcomed! - TDKR Chicago 101 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:43, 31 August 2015 (UTC).

• I am sorry but the article is not newly created, not 5x expanded, and is a failed good article nominee. It does not meet any of the basic requirement for DYK. AdrianGamer (talk) 12:44, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
  • The article has to be newly created? But that's a strange requirement. - TDKR
    • It's a necessary evil, since otherwise everybody and their brother would nominate their favorite article and DYK would likely collapse under the weight. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 01:46, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
