 * The normal procedure at DYK is to keep a nomination open if the article is at AFD. Nominators get the benefit of the doubt pending the close of the deletion debate. — Maile  (talk) 21:52, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Newly moved to mainspace, long enough, well referenced. Hook is fine but, being picky, "...later became viewed as..." is slightly clumsy English: the usual turn of phrase would be "...came to be viewed as...". QPQ done. Image is free to use, and appears in the article. FunkyCanute (talk) 18:13, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I have made the change. Do you have any thoughts on the proposed holding dates as well?  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 21:36, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Since 20 April is mentioned in the article, perhaps we should go with it. FunkyCanute (talk) 10:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Very well. Can you add the green tick then please?  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 11:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
