theleekycauldron, before you consolidated all of the DYK guidelines, the supplemental page included the following as D10: If an article contradicts an existing article, the contradiction should be resolved one way or the other before the article is approved.
I don't see any equivalent language in the current guidelines.
I've just run into a DYK nomination where the new article—and the hook from it—has some major factual contradictions with a previously existing article. I do note the previous D10 text in my comment, because I remembered it, but was wondering whether there was a consensus that it be dropped. My objections do still stand without invoking D10, but I think it's a good principle and was wondering why it was dropped—and whether it can be reintroduced.
There's no rush on this; I know you're on wikibreak. Please let me know when you get the chance. Many thanks, and greetings of the season. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:43, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey, hope you're having a good new year! I made a little list of unusual anniversaries (kind of like WP:UNUSUAL and WP:OTD combined) on my userpage. If you have any interest in contributing to it, I'd be very honored! I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the page is yet; I just figured that if *I* find it interesting, others might too.

Hello. Just a heads up, for some reason this ping didn't work – I only just spotted it scrolling through the more recent comments. Not sure if you want to try again to get the attention of the others. Cheers, Number 57 14:03, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
