Article was (barely) new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination, and sourcing appears to be adequate. Although both hooks are cited inline, the first one appears to be the best option here. However, the Bangkok Post link used as a source is giving a 404 error, and while I'm willing to AGF on the content for DYK purposes, it could cause problems down the road if it isn't resolved. A QPQ has been done. The nomination will be approved once the issue with the 404 link is resolved. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 02:15, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Hmm. Not sure what they're up to with the URLs. It's still available at this link.[3] --Paul_012 (talk) 08:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, the new link works and the information is verified. As for the image, I'll leave it to the promoter if it's to be used, but personally I think the details look too small in the current size. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:06, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
