Created by Chaiten1 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:58, 16 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Frederick Murray Trotter; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new and long enough, currently at 2302 B RPS and having been created 16 Jan, the same day it was nominated. Hook is interesting, cited inline in the source, and supported by that citation. The rest of the article's sourcing looks good as well. Earwig looks good with the only flagged portions of text being proper nouns. User has 4 DYK credits so no QPQ is required. Good to go.
