- Please first have reliable references ready for this article. At present, there are many paragraphs without citation, which makes the article not eligible. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:48, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi there, Helloheart! Unfortunately, this article fails to qualify for DYK under WP:DYK#gen1a, which says that new articles
may not consist of text spun off from a pre-existing article.
Unless the article can be 5x expanded, it's probably best to close this nomination. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 19:48, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
