  •   I don't think this is DYK eligible. Per F8, " A 'new' article is no more than seven days old. This does not include articles split from older articles, although an article sufficiently expanded from a section of an older article can be a fivefold expansion." buidhe 22:31, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • The section on the river didn't exist in the article it was split from for more than a few days before the split, upon realizing it was better as a standalone. You'd have to be going entirely against the spirit of the rule to not allow this. Kingsif (talk) 03:56, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • OK, after checking the page history I can see that you are right. In future, it's best to clarify what's going on in a comment if there have been splits or page content is moved around.
General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
QPQ: Done.

Overall:   Recommend linking only "Bottomless Pit", the capitalization makes it clear that this refers to a specific place. buidhe 04:09, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for the review - I'll make a note next time if I nominate something with a more complicated history again. Re. Friends of the Rio de Flag, they have their own sources and references page on the website (and are based in Flagstaff and the Museum of Northern Arizona). So, all of their information will be from these published sources or observational, which I think is reliable. Maybe we can examine this further? Kingsif (talk) 15:43, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
  •   Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not understand why East Flagstaff is part of the piped link, or why the river is being referred to as the bottomless pit (and why capitalized?) Yoninah (talk) 18:58, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Thanks, @Yoninah: - it was mentioned above that the piped link should probably only be on the Bottomless Pit part, which just wasn't tweaked. Part of the river includes a feature known as the Bottomless Pit (capitalized). If the hook isn't clear, is there any suggestion you have to reword it? Kingsif (talk) 19:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • If it's for April Fools Day, "bottomless pit" should be lowercase. And Kingsif, it doesn't have to be funny, just deceptive. The reader clicks on it expecting to see a bottomless pit and instead sees a river—"April Fools!" Yoninah (talk) 00:50, 21 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
