Rejected Hi, Thriley. I wish I had good news for you after you've waited nearly a month and a half for this review. However, I must reject this nomination. It came on November 30, a full 10.75 days after the page was created on November 19 (rather than Nov 21, as listed on WP:DYKN). That's well outside the one-week window and beyond the one-to-two-day extension period permitted by WP:DYKNEW. I tried finding an exemption that would have allowed you to argue this was a 5x expansion, but this version existed more than ten days prior to the nomination. Sorry. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:07, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Pbritti: I actually moved the article from draft space at 15:28 on 21 November 2023. Thriley (talk) 23:26, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Thriley: Goodness, you're right—I missed this. I looked for something of the sort but must have just glanced over it. Give me a a bit to review the nomination again as I worry I may have missed other important details. I'm so sorry, Thriley, and appreciate you explaining the issue. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:31, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
No problem at all! Thriley (talk) 00:34, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Page size: 1549 B (pass). Newness: see above (pass). Copyvios: No issues found, AGF pass on translations (I modified one short quote from an English source into a short paraphrase). Sourcing: References look good and seem to establish notability, so an AGF pass due to minor limitations caused by language barrier. No images. Hook is pulled straight from source and cited in the right location in the text. QPQ done. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:37, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
I can speak just enough French to get myself into trouble, so this is an AGF pass. I want to thank Thriley for their patience on the review and with me. Good to go! ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:39, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
