2x expanded and sourced (BLP) by Storye book (talk). Self-nominated at 17:15, 11 July 2016 (UTC).
@Storye book: BLP expansions, as their name implies, are for biographies of living people with no sources. (I don't think this house is a living person.) You will need to expand the article 5x. I think you need 2,980 characters of readable prose but you only have 2,092. Additionally, a QPQ is necessary. The expansion is new enough, on the other hand. Raymie (t • c) 22:41, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you, Raymie. It's a while since I've been in the DYK system, and I'm rusty already. QPQ done. Template:Did you know nominations/Operation Quartz. I plan to further expand the article later today. Storye book (talk) 08:59, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
- Update: I have now completed the 5 x expansion. Storye book (talk) 16:03, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
- Withdrawal of nomination: With much regret I shall now have to withdraw the nomination. Since I began expanding it, the article has received several long series of unhelpful edits involving repeatedly removing an entire (balanced and fully reffed) paragraph, repeatedly introducing wrong information, and here and there a few typos. It is impossible to work on an article when you have to spend most of the time correcting another editor's mistakes. In the circumstances I don't think I can get this article to the required standard for DYK and keep it there so long as this article is subject to repeated heavy interference and reversions.
