 * Rwxrwxrwx, Amberrock, more concerning than the missing QPQ is that article was created on February 19, but not nominating until March 7, 17 days later. That's 10 days late, which is usually considered too long even for a new participant at DYK, yet if Mdnavman is required to do a QPQ review, that means at least five prior nominations. I'll leave it to you two to decide whether this should qualify for a rare exception in terms of newness, or if it should be closed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:32, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Thanks for checking the newness, BlueMoonset. I had already stopped reviewing when I noted that the nominator has about 8 DYK credits (not all of them show up on the Wikimedia tool, just check his talk page) and needs a QPQ. 17 days is wide off the mark as far as I'm concerned. That means the nominator took more than twice the allowed time.  —♦♦ AMBER  (ЯʘCK)  23:44, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
