Created by Prad Nelluru (talk). Self-nominated at 03:11, 23 May 2020 (UTC).
Article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination. No close paraphrasing was found, and the hook facts are cited inline (AGF as I don't have access to the sources). A QPQ was done but was not required as the nominator has no prior DYK credits. Just two minor issues: the titles of other series mentioned in the article (such as EastEnders) aren't italicized, and while technically optional, I'd highly suggest providing a reference for the cast list just in case there are any objections among the other DYK editors that there's a part of the article that isn't referenced.

- Thank you, Narutolovehinata5, for your review. I have italicized all of the names of other shows/documentaries. I will keep the cast list without an explicit reference, because it's not too common. See the film Oscar-winning film Moonlight, for example. (I also find that there's not a good place to put the reference. The heading is inappropriate, as is the first cast listing, as are all of the cast listings.) In any case, I relied on sources that are present in the references list, primarily this one.

- Hi, I came by to promote this, but there is no inline cite for the hook fact of being the first Kazakhstani soap opera. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hey Yoninah, thank you for taking a look. I just added two inline citations for Crossroads being the first Kazakhstani soap opera. Prad Nelluru (talk) 22:11, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
