5x expanded by Kosack (talk). Self-nominated at 14:19, 15 April 2018 (UTC).

• Not 5x expanded but looks like it meets the article length requirement per "had its prose portion expanded at least twofold" (it's a BLG). Article was a stub before it was expanded. ♫ TheGridExe (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

@TheGridExe: The prose stood at 237 when I started the expansion and is now at 2179 which is well over 5x expansion? Kosack (talk) 19:18, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

@Kosack: Thanks for the clarification! Yeah, I was saying it did meet the expansion requirement regardless so it should be good. I do like ALT1 better than the initial hook based on the aim of DYK but that might be more of my personal preference. I see either one meeting the criteria. ♫ TheGridExe (talk) 20:00, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
