@Daniel Case: can you assist me with this, its my first DYK just wanted to make sure all is right. Thanks Bacardi379 (talk) 14:00, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

@Bacardi379: Well, I don't see any evidence that it was recently expanded or promoted to GA, so it's ineligible. Daniel Case (talk) 20:09, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: What still needs to be done before it could become a GA?

General eligibility:

New enough: - Has not been expanded or passed at GAN within the past 7 days.
Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Many uncited statements and paragraphs
Neutral: - Reads like a promotional pamphlet at many points
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - Hook would need to be rewritten to comply with standards and match the source and article (claims to be the birthplace).

QPQ: None required.

Overall:

Formally putting the kibosh to this. Sounder Bruce 05:22, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
