Created by Longhornsg (talk). Self-nominated at 06:28, 25 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Valery Chekalov; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

QPQ is fine, article is new enough and long enough. Source is reliable, the article is verifiable. Happy to approve this. Frzzl talk; contribs 21:56, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Longhornsg and Frzzl: Article it tagged with a heavily edited banner. Might be best to let the editing slow down so that it is stable before promotion. Bruxton (talk) 13:51, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Longhornsg and Frzzl: Bruxton (talk) 13:54, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine by me - should we keep the nom open, but delay it a week or two? Frzzl talk; contribs 13:56, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Frzzl leave it open and ping when the editing slows down. I fear that it is too unstable ATM. Lightburst (talk) 19:04, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Frzzl and Bruxton: FYI, another editor removed the recent death banner and commented that editing had stabilized. Still find with waiting on this a week or so, but thought I'd give the heads up that we're in the clear anyway. Longhornsg (talk) 20:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
