Article: new enough, long enough, appropriately cited. Hook: mentioned in the article (though it has been phrased differently), supported by in-line citation, interesting. QPQ done. My only concern is the image used in the article, though it seems to comply with WP:NFCI, has not yet been reviewed by a patroller/administrator.GinaJay (talk) 17:26, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hi, GinaJay, thanks for the review. I'm not quite sure what you're referring to by the need for an administrator. The image has been uploaded correctly as fair use. A bot will soon come along and reduce the size of the image so it complies with the fair use criteria. Otherwise the image is fine. Yoninah (talk) 18:18, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hi Yoninah. I meant to say that the fair use rationale for the image has not yet been checked by an administrator. I’m not well-versed in copyright issues though, so if that’s not an issue, then this DYK nom meets all criteria. GinaJay (talk) 19:32, 18 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
