Although a recently promoted GA, this article unfortunately does not qualify because it was already featured for DYK on 16 April 2015. See the
previous nomination page. -

Zanhe: I was wondering about this before nominating. I could not find any rule anywhere at the DYK rules of supplementary rules about another DYK being forbidden when an article reaches GA. North America1000 18:25, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Per DYK rule 1e: "Articles that have featured (bold link) previously on DYK, or in a blurb on the main page's In the news, or On this day sections are ineligible." It doesn't matter if it's a GA or an expansion. I myself have written several articles that reached GA after being featured on DYK, and I've not renominated them. -
