Unfortunately, this article is not eligible for DYK, as it was only expanded by about 50%, from 1504 prose characters to 2250 prose characters; a 5x (500%) expansion would need to be to 7520 prose characters, which seems impractical. Also, the nomination was never transcluded despite a message being sent to the nominator's talk page, which is why it wasn't reviewed until now. I am also concerned about the original hook and the equivalent sentence in the article, which copies from the New York Times source, and should be paraphrased instead (and not too closely paraphrased). I hope you will try DYK again in the future with an article that meets the criteria. Thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 16:39, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
