  • @Tole7833: This article wasn't expanded 5x so it isn't eligible for DYK. Guettarda (talk) 15:37, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Note: the article was 7555 prose characters prior to expansion, and 10083 afterward, an expansion of about a third, rather than the fivefold expansion required, which would require that the article be 37755 prose characters, which is clearly impractical. The article could become eligible if it's listed as a Good Article, but it would need to meet the GA criteria, be nominated, and pass a review. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:23, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
