Comment: QPQ not needed, first nom

5x expanded by Danre98 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:37, 8 August 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Good to go. Welcome to DYK! Articles is long enough, adequately sourced and expanded adequately and recently enough. Hook is sourced and within guidelines. No copyvios found via Earwig's tool or spot checks with Duplication Detector. Appears to be first DYK (no credits listed on Talk Page history) so QPQ not necessary.

Removed external link[edit]

This link went dead recently and I'm noting this here if chance has it that the site comes back up again. It was used as an external link. —Danre98^{(talk^contribs)} 17:53, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
