  • Toadboy123, dykcheck shows this as not being eligible based on 5x expansion. Will you expand on the eligibility of this article for DYK? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 18:52, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Gonzo fan2007: According to the article's previous history, it did not have sufficient word limit to be featured in DYK. From December 12, I placed the article under construction tag and expanded it. Following completion, the article was allowed to be in DYK (5x expansion) due to attaining the precise word limit. Regarding the eligibility of the article, what am I supposed to elaborate on regarding the DYK? - Toadboy123 (talk) 22:54, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
      • Toadboy123 The article needs to be expanded by a factor of 5 to be eligible for DYK. The version you pointed to (when you started editing it 3 days ago) had a prose size of 1,204 characters with 201 words of readable prose. The version today has 3,595 characters with 626 words of readable prose. By either value, you are looking about 3x expansion, which is well short of the 5x expansion required by DYK criteria. So could you explain why you think this meets the criteria? « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:02, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
