Eurovision Song Contest 1993
- ... that with a population of 1,500, Millstreet in County Cork, Ireland, became the smallest settlement to host the Eurovision Song Contest when it staged the 1993 event? Source: "In 1993, Irish broadcaster RTÉ surprised the Eurovision family by choosing Millstreet as host village for the contest. With a population of just 1,500 people it was the smallest place ever chosen to host the contest."
- ALT1: ... that ahead of hosting the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, BBC journalist Nicholas Witchell referred to the contest venue, the Green Glens Arena in Millstreet, as a "cowshed in Ireland"? Source: "It appeared that not everyone was as excited about RTÉ's choice; BBC news anchor Nicholas Witchell sparked controversy when saying on-air that the contest would be held "in a cowshed in Ireland."""The visiting BBC journalist, Nicholas Witchell, disparagingly said that Eurovision was being held 'in a cowshed in Ireland.'

We are in WP:QPQ backlog mode. Double reviews are required.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 07:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- The QPQ check tool to the right counts only 15. I don't really trust the QPQ tool that much because it barely counts 40% of my own nominations. But If the nominator feels that they have done less than 20 noms this can go forward or they can do the double. This case is on the honor system.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- The tool actually missed three DYKs from 2008, back when DYK acknowledgements were posted by people rather than bots, but that still only gives a count of 18, so this nomination doesn't require a second QPQ. Restoring Coretheapple's original tick. Only another two DYK nominations before backlog mode kicks in. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:52, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
