5x expanded by Normsupon (talk). Self-nominated at 06:52, 27 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • checkY Article has been 5x expanded according to DYKcheck tool, is longer than 1500 characters (5301 characters), nominated in time (expansion started 25 June in this edit - not 25 May like the DYKcheck tool says for some reason - and was nominated to DYK on 27 June), and article is within policy
  • checkY ALT0 is short enough, interesting to a broad audience, in the article and well cited. ALT1 is short enough, in the article and well cited, though I think ALT1 is less interesting than ALT0 (as a non-American, I don't see why it's particularly interesting that it was going to be on 116th Street)
  • checkY Image is public domain in US (which is country of origin), in the article, and looks good at low resolution
  • checkY QPQ done
  • Overall, this nomination passes congratulations. My preference would be for ALT0. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:37, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
