Improved to Good Article status by BhagyaMani (talk). Self-nominated at 14:14, 7 June 2020 (UTC).
BhagyaMani, DYK nominations need to be made within seven days of the qualifying event, whether newly created, newly expanded, or newly listed as a Good Article. In this case, the article was listed as a GA on May 9, but not nominated until 29 days later, on June 7. If it were a few days late, we might be able to extend the deadline, but this was 22 days, over three weeks—far past any exception granted over the years. I'm sorry that this one hasn't worked out; I hope you'll try again at DYK, though next time within the seven days. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, BlueMoonset. I didn't know and apparently missed this info about the deadline. -- BhagyaMani (talk) 06:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
