Created by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 03:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Faith and Confidence; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Both articles are new enough and long enough. Sources are excellent. Neutral. No copyvio issues (Earwig gives a score of 30% for Faith and Confidence, and 16.7% for Beall, but it's due to quotes and proper nouns). Hooks are cited and interesting, and I like the main hook. I think the image is in the public domain. Both QPQs are done. Good job! Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 21:23, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
