Comment: This article is currently going through the WP:GAN process. I am the main contributor to this article and nominator for GA review however I did not nominate for DYK as I was waiting to achieve GA status. I believe this nomination should be rejected given it does not currently pass the DYK criteria, however given my proximity to the article I will leave the final decision of this nomination to another user.

• Not eligible at this time - Just to provide some context, the article was reviewed here and tagged as a GA, but due to concerns with the review of the article was reverted per a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations#Issue regarding a new reviewer. The article is not currently a GA and has not been expanded 5x within the past 7 days before its nomination at DYK. It does not currently meet the eligibility criteria at WP:DYKCRIT. - Aoidh (talk) 03:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
