QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article was moved to the mainspace on November 4, and nominated the next day for DYK. Length and sourcing are adequate. The article is neutral in tone, and no plagiarism was detected. ALT0 is reasonably interesting, supported by two sentences in the article, but both will need a citation at the end as per WP:DYKHFC. ALT1 is interesting, properly mentioned and cited in the article, and verfied. I have struck ALT2 as not overly interesting to a broad audience. ALT3 is interesting, properly mentioned and cited in the article, and verfied by four combined sources. Both images used in the article have a public domain license on the Commons. The nominated image is used in the article, clear at a low resoultion, but would benefit from cropping. The QPQ requirement is complete. Overall, this nomination is in good condition, with only an outstanding question on ALT0. Best wishes. Flibirigit (talk) 15:10, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
