  • Comment: Although the ideal date for this DYK would have been January 18, I just missed it and am aware of the six-week limit for holding it until next year. However, my health does not allow me to wait a full year before publishing this article, so here it is.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, neutral and plagiarism free. Hook cited and interesting. QPQ is done. The Hebrew sources have translations, which I thank the nominator for (but I don't speak Hebrew so can't double check). One of the most-cited sources is a Times of Israel blog, which WP:RS says to treat with caution, but it's written by an academic so is fine to me. Article is an orphan, so I put a note on another project to see if it could be de-orphaned - this is not prerequisite for nomination, but would of course benefit the article and Wikipedia's readers.
