2015 Shoreham Airshow crash

(
)

Improved to Good Article status by Mjroots (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 20:44, 11 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/2015 Shoreham Airshow crash; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Comment - another angle for a hook is the 7 years it took for the inquest to take place. Mjroots (talk) 16:10, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
    • The article, which was started on the date of the crash, was nominated on 8 March 2023, the date it was approved as a Good Article.
    • I have reviewed the Good Article review, and all seems to be in order.
    • Both hooks are accurate and are supported by various reliable sources.
    • Good-quality sources are used throughout. The quality of the prose is also good.
    • Unfortunately, the article was featured in the prose section of the "On this day" section of the Main Page on 22 August 2022 (link), which makes it ineligible for DYK on the face of it (based on DYK criterion 1c). A shame, as this is clearly a high-quality and important article which would benefit from appearing again on the Main Page, especially since significant further developments have happened since August 2022 in relation to the inquest. I wonder if we could invoke WP:IAR in view of this...?

Let's get some more thoughts on this from experienced DYK personnel. I would be happy to support the article appearing on DYK despite its appearance at "On This Day" within the last year, in view of the updates which have happened since then. In its present state the article and both hooks are suitable for DYK except for this issue. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:11, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

@Theleekycauldron: Nah, just withdraw. When I nominated this I didn't realize it had been on OTD last year. I think I saw that it appeared in 2020 and thought that it was okay without realizing that it appeared last year. Onegreatjoke (talk) 02:38, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
