Created by Ariel Cetrone (WMDC) (talk). Self-nominated at 13:03, 28 May 2021 (UTC).

General eligibility:

New enough: - Unless I'm missing something, this article was created on May 21 and has not been 5x expanded, and was not nominated until more than a month later.
Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - Hook is over 200 characters! That's too long. If the article is expanded 5X or made a GA in order to become DYK eligible, a shorter hook will be needed. Wikilinks to things like Sonderkommando might be nice too?

QPQ: None required.

Overall: I really wish a hook from this article could run on DYK, but things aren't looking great since it doesn't meet the eligibility criteria and the nomination needs some additional work on top of that. Anyone is of course welcome and encouraged to renominate the article after expanding it 5X or making it a GA, or to comment here with {{subst:DYK?again}} to request another review of this nomination. ezlev_tlk/ctrbs 17:44, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Ah, looks like itʻs Ariel Cetrone (WMDC)ʻs first time at DYK, on the advice of Piotrus. Apologies for not seeing that during my review. Ariel, if you shorten the hook to under 200 characters, itʻs probably worth requesting another review as explained above. To the future reviewer: maybe we can waive the requirement of recent creation for a first-time nominator with an interesting article? ezlev_tlk/ctrbs 21:46, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

Ezlev, I have always supported waiving the one-week rule for such cases, although of course there should be some common sense 'recent' horizon, here 1-3 months is my rule of thumb. So I'd support passing it once the hook is shortened to the required size.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:12, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

: Looks like the hook has been shortened. Let's get another reviewer here, please? ezlev_tlk/ctrbs 23:06, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

Per the previous discussion, it looks like there's agreement to go forward with this since it's a new article by a new nominator. The hook has been shortened to <200 characters, is interesting, and cited. Looks good to me & I support it appearing on the DYK page. QuakerSquirrel (talk) 13:04, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
