• ... that NFL player Len Garrett was known as "Graveyard"?

• Source: many sources, e.g. this

• • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Carlos Manzo (1/2) & Template:Did you know nominations/Zhang Xichen
  • Comment: To do QPQ within two days.

Improved to Good Article status by BeanieFan11 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 430 past nominations.

• Closing as incomplete per WP:QPQ (" A nomination which doesn't include a QPQ (and is not from an exempt nominator) may be closed as "incomplete" without warning.") RoySmith (talk) 13:31, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

@RoySmith: But the nom said they'd have just one QPQ done today. Give them time to do just one QPQ. I'll ping @BeanieFan11:. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:24, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

It is ludicrous to quickfail a very recent DYK nom – with a QPQ – on the basis that "no QPQ has been provided". I will get a second one done later today, as with the other noms. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:50, 8 November 2025 (UTC)

New enough, long enough, adequately sourced, no apparent copyvios, two QPQs done. Hook is sourced and interesting. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:03, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
