1. The article has few if any third party sources. Larry makes media appearances but few seem to want to profile him directly. I checked newspapers.com and several Florida newspapers have run profiles on him which would be key articles to use for this.
2. The article reads like something promotional.
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Comment: I completely re-wrote the article so it's effectively a new article. Sources are two print newspaper sources but Florida Today doesn't have an online archive, so I added a Tampa Bay one as well. Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:18, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but it's not eligible, as there was no 5x expansion. The article was moved to draft space on February 21, and moved back to mainspace25+1⁄2 hours later. The version of the article before your first edit on February 14 was 7610 prose characters, but it's currently 7126. Thank you for your work on the article, but Rule A4 says: "Fivefold expansion is calculated from the previously existing article, no matter how bad it was (copyvios are an exception), no matter whether you kept any of it". If you get it to good article status, you may resubmit within seven days of that designation. MANdARAX•XAЯAbИAM20:00, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
