The article isn't anywhere near ready for main page exposure. An English speaker needs to give it a good copyedit. Sourcing is substandard. Punctuation is sloppy. Please remove spaces between punctuation and references. Please provide English translations of foreign language titles within the references. There is a red link for a template that needs to be resolved. Why does a brand-new article have a dead link? Schwede66 09:47, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
This is a new (but undeclared) translation of a Serbian WP article (hence the broken reference in a brand-new article queried above). I've marked the translation on the article's talk page, as is required, and issued a warning to the user who failed to give attribution. DYK's eligibility criteria say: Articles that are translations from other wikis count as new articles.
As it's a translation, Earwig is entirely happy. I've tidied up the article so that it's historically correct, e.g. it should not refer to political entities that did not yet exist at the time an event happened. With that tidy up, the article is now neutral. It's long enough. There is a Serbian article title in what is currently reference number 4 and that needs to be shown with an English-language translation in the reference. Nominator has one credit and a QPQ is thus not required. The original hook checks out. I have struck ALT1 as Velimirović died decades before Dabović was canonised, i.e. he would not have talked about him as a "saint". That said, I suggest ALT2 where I have added the word "bishop" for context. The image is missing a US copyright tag and I can't see which one would apply, so I suggest that unless some knowledgeable editor can resolve this, the image should not be used.

- Schwede66, Thanks for all of your work, this nom was a bit of a trainwreck on my end so I apologize for that and will make sure this doesn't repeat. I'm in the process of moving so that really hampered my ability. Regarding reference 4, I tried to use a Cyrillic to Latin-script translator and then machine translate that, but some of the words didn't translate properly. And yeah I'm in concurrence with not using the image if it doesn't have the right US license. Curbon7 (talk) 04:29, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, it’s fair to say that I have spent more time reviewing this than it’s taken me to write some articles. But your (review) mileage does vary. user:Aquinasthomes1, can you assist with that one last item? If you don’t know your way around citation templates, just reply here with the needed words.

- Hi, i translated the part of 4 reference, I hope it helps. Aquinasthomes1 (talk) 08:40, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Good to go; ALT2 preferred over the original hook. Photo not to be used. Schwede66 10:52, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
