Question - @
Letizia Ferhati: Are you sure you nominated the correct article?
Japan does not appear eligible for DYK; it was not created by you but by
User:Alan D in 2001, and has neither been 5x expanded nor made into a GA recently, and indeed has been a Featured Article since 2007.
Japan does not meet the "New" criteria of
WP:DYKCRIT, did you mean to nominate a different article? -

Closing. As noted in the above comment by Aoidh this doesn't meet requirements, although it is understandable that the DYK process name causes confusion in this regard.
