 * ... that a Taiwanese religious movement teaching Feng Shui and I Ching since 1984 now has around 300,000 members? Source: "The global core membership of the movement grew to about 300,000, with a larger audience estimated by Taiwan's Ministry of Internal Affairs at 1,000,000"; "1993: Grand Master Hun Yuan held the 99 Days Chanting Ceremony and the first research classes on I Ching and Feng Shui." (Introvigne)
 * ALT1:... that ceremonies honoring Taiwanese ancestors held annually on January 1 in a stadium by a religious movement attract over 30,000 people, including the island's top politicians? Source: "Since January 2004, honoring the Great Ancestors and bringing peace to the victims of violence come together in the Unified Ancestor Worship Ceremony for Chinese in the twenty-first century. It is held each year on January 1 in Taipei's Linkou Stadium and attracts great crowds. Taiwanese political dignitaries, including presidents of the Republic, have also participated in the event." (Introvigne); "Weixinshengjiao holds large ancestor worship ceremonies to recognize the historical status of Chiyou as the national ancestor, and began holding the “21st Century Chinese Joint Ancestor Worship Ceremony (中華民族聯合祭祖大典)” in Linkou Stadium since 2004. This is a major event for ancestral worship and is also a carnival that mobilizes over 30 thousand members of the religious group, inviting politicians and businessmen from around the world, as well as representatives of Chinese religious groups."

 * Symbol delete vote.svg The article was created on 9 February - the nomination date of 20 February is well after the 7-day cutoff. HaEr48 (talk) 02:57, 13 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg HaEr48, the article was moved from Draft space to mainspace on February 20: it is not the creation date that rules, but the date the article first appears in mainspace, and that was the same day this was nominated. Please do a full review of the article on that basis. (Note: DYKcheck, in additional to checking for length and timeliness, also lets you know about moves into mainspace; I highly recommend this tool to all DYK reviewers.)

 * Thanks, I was just looking at the first edit in history, didn't realize that it's more complicated than that for mainspace moves. Will do a full review on this basis soon. HaEr48 (talk) 17:22, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

moved to mainspace newly enough, long enough. Is generally neutral and cites its sources (AGF on many foreign language and offline sources). Earwig detected a hit to [wrldrels.org/profiles/WeixinShengjiao.htm] (one of the sources for the article), but upon inspection it seems a false positive - I don't see any identical long passage. The main proposed hook is hooky enough, makes use of facts mentioned in the article, and is supported by citation. I checked the citation (Introvigne 2016) and it checks out. Image has appropriate copyright tag, but in my opinion too zoomed out for main page appearance - leaving to promoter to decide. Fences and windows only has two DYKs, so QPQ is not required.

 * Thanks for the review User:HaEr48. An alternative image since added is [[File:Main temple of the City of the Eight Symbols (八卦城), the holy see of Weixinism (唯心教) in Hebi (鹤壁市), Henan, China.jpg|100px]]. Fences  &amp;  Windows  11:39, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
