- Comment: I believe my nomination may be slightly late; I'm hoping for a one-day extension per DYK supplementary rule D9

Created by BeanieFan11 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:22, 24 June 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Nicholas Dheilly; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

I will review this, in spite of it being 22 hours late, this seems fine, as seems to be in the spirit of WP:DYKSG D9
? There is an issue with the Newspapers.com URLs. They are trying to use links through a Wikipedia Library proxy, but none of the links work for me despite being logged into the Wikipedia Library. And most casual readers will not have Wikipedia Library access, so won't be able to access these URLs either. Please can these URLs be converted to normal Newspapers.com URLs (https://www.newspapers.com/{something}), preferably with clippings of the articles, as per the recommendations at Wikipedia:Newspapers.com?
Apart from the Newspapers.com links, the sourcing looks okay. An article is inline with other policies
? The hook should specify that it's Canadian football, as football is ambiguous (there's soccer, American football, Canadian football, Australian rules football). The hook is short enough, interesting enough, but I cannot check the source, as it's affected by the Newspapers.com URL access issue above
N QPQ not done
Overall, some issues that need addressing and QPQ is required. BeanieFan11 please ping me once these issues are resolved. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:30, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Joseph2302: I believe I've addressed all the issues (you can see the hook source here) - I also reviewed a QPQ. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:52, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Y Article is long enough (2516 characters) and is within all policies. Newspapers.com references have now been verified, thank you for fixing the URLs
  - Y Hook is short enough, interesting, in the article and well cited
  - Y QPQ done
  - Overall, this nomination now passes. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:06, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
