Overall: 
Article has appeared in ITN before. I will try checking if it was a BOLD link or if it was non-BOLD link. If it was a BOLD link, I think unfortunately, this might not be eligible. Alright. Just checked. Unfortunately, this nomination might not be eligible for DYK because it was posted on ITN as a BOLD link. Relevant discussion can be seen here. I am going to keep this nomination open for sometime in case the nominator thinks I might have gotten this wrong. It is a shame because I liked the hook. Nice work on the article though. Good luck on the GA nomination. Ktin (talk) 19:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
- Marking no on this nomination. I will continue to watch this nomination in case someone wants to message me in regards to this nomination. Ktin (talk) 11:03, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Ktin: WP:DYKNEW says, "It (an article) is also ineligible if it has, within the year prior to nomination or between nomination and appearance on the Main Page, appeared as a boldlink at In the news (ITN)" This article appeared at ITN in 2019, so I think this article is still eligible.

- @Z1720: - Wow. Thanks! Was this a recent change? Irrespective, this is good to go then. Unrelated, Earwig's check indicates a few high % matches, but these are largely publication names etc that are being tied back to Kremer's CV and a quote. I think this is good to go. Marking approved. Ktin (talk) 22:07, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
