welcome to dyk, dxneo! i am not sure if you are already aware, but this project focuses on showcasing new articles and recently improved articles, as explained at wp:dyk. the guidelines at wp:dyknew explain that a nominated article should have been, within the last seven days, either created in article space, expanded at least fivefold, or promoted to good article status.unfortunately, this article does not appear to currently be eligible for an appearance at dyk, as it was first created in 2012, and the only edits to the article in the last week were made to remove an unreliable source and add a reliable one. expanding the article fivefold seems rather difficult, given the current length of the article. is that something you would be interested in doing? alternatively, you could try nominating the article for good article status. dying (talk) 22:59, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
