• @Danski454: Its a good length, its new and it might be about one of a few interesting subjects mentioned. I have to guess at what "NFL" might mean. The refs look OK and its long enough. The hook is not interesting. "Some academy that you've never heard of had a lot of applications" and the evidence is behind this paywall... somewhere. Your "newbie" badge gets you through though. I can suggest some themes e.g. DYK that the American National Football Academy is based in a town in the UK and a city in Australia? (from the lede). ... after writing that suggestion though .... I read down further ... where it talks about Asia? What is this article about? The Title, contradicts the lede I think, and that seems to contradict the sub-headings. Ping me when the subject is more clear, at the moment its not a contender. Victuallers (talk) 11:55, 21 June 2026 (UTC)
  • @Danski454: Hey, welcome to DYK! Victuallers has raised a few issues in their review, so, those'll have to be addressed before this nomination can go forward. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:19, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
    • The nominator has not responded here or edited the article, despite two pings and the above review. Given that they have been active elsewhere but have not addressed the concerns, this is marked for closure as abandoned. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:36, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
