This article, while long enough, does not qualify for DYK because within the past seven days it is not newly created, expanded fivefold, or approved as a Good Article. While the nominator has done a major expansion to the article, it has taken over two and a half months to do a fivefold expansion, and the rules in that regard, while having a couple of days flex from the seven days, certainly do not stretch to anything like sixty-seven days beyond. I'm very sorry about that, since a great deal of work has been done on it. There is one chance for the article to qualify for DYK in the future: if it is nominated for and approved by an independent reviewer as a Good Article, it can then be nominated for DYK within seven days of the GA approval. Best of luck! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:26, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
