The article was made today, so it's new enough. It currently sits at about 2400 characters, so it is long enough. The article reads neutrally and has in-line citations for the hook, as noted above. I saw no copyvio issues after running through the tool. The hook is short enough and interesting enough, so no problems there. The only thing left I have to ask about, @Aranya:, is that the QPQ seems to have been done in April. Did you not use it for anything else back then? I'm not sure what the rules are, if there even are any, in regards to how recent the QPQ review has to be. Silver seren^C 02:46, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the review Silver seren. I'm sure I haven't used the QPQ before, though I can replace it with a newer one if I missed a rule. Aranya (talk) 21:51, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since I don't know the rules in that regard myself, i'm just going to accept it, @Aranya:. Apologies for the delay. Silver seren^C 22:06, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Silver seren: The consensus among DYK editors is that there is no time limit on QPQs. You can check that it has not been used elsewhere by clicking on "What links here" while viewing the template of the QPQ. Best, Yoninah (talk) 21:59, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

what's the origin of the name?[edit]

seems contradictory - 'homeward bound' would be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.25.210 (talk) 16:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late response IP. I unfortunately wasn't able to find any background when I was writing this and, again, today, after a review of the article's current sources and a bunch of news articles that weren't used. If anyone can find sources that mention it, I would be happy to help. Aranya (talk) 20:48, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
