Per nominator's comment: "I added a banner where secondary sources are still needed on that page, so if it hasn't already, it can be removed from here". Also, this would now fail WP:DYKTAG.

• Sorry, but I really think this needs some work. It's new enough and it's long enough, the hook is fine, but the sourcing is not strong, for starters: the very first independent source is a database entry, and the next one is the web page of a small historical society. The rest are all primary sources, basically, and that's not really a good look. On top of that, there is editorial commentary ("It is not clear...") on one of the primary sources. I do not think this is ready for the front page. Drmies (talk) 19:09, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

fair enough, thank you for the feedback Gb321 (talk) 19:14, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

I added more references but its not enough to address all of your notes. I added a banner where secondary sources are still needed on that page, so if it hasn't already, it can be removed from here Gb321 (talk) 21:47, 2 March 2026 (UTC)
