I am not being paid to write this article, but I am involved in an edit-a-thon organized on the occasion of this award, by BBC. That triggered me to create an entry, as I find it notable. I will be pushing this through the AfC process, instead of creating on the main-space directly, to avoid bias in both notability and content. KCVelaga (talk) 14:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: Please save this for March 8. Two reasons: 1.) It is International Women's Day, and this award is focused on encouraging women in sports 2.)The first award was awarded on 8 March 2020, and this year's winner is going to be announced on 8 March.

Hi KCVelaga, review follows: article moved to mainspace 31 January 2021; article exceeds minimum length; is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing from the sources used; hook is interesting (I had never heard of the award), mentioned in the article and backed up by the source cited; if desired a photo of Sindhu could be included, or specific reference made to the date significance; a QPQ has been provided. Looks OK to me - Dumelow (talk) 09:06, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
