Interesting. Unfortunately, it is 1201 characters of prose, short of the 1500 minimum. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:17, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Muboshgu, I added an additional 300+ characters of prose. Is this article still eligible since it was expanded more than 7 days past its creation? GeneralPoxter (talk) 17:50, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm willing to be flexible (hence the "DYK?no" and not the stronger "DYKno"). It is now over 1500 characters, but not by much. I'm assuming the Korean characters count to the total? Any further expansion could be helpful in case anyone else objects. It is cited throughout and appears to be written neutrally as calling it propaganda is NPOV. I prefer ALT1 to ALT0 personally but both are verified with inline citations. Copyvio unlikely via Earwig. QPQ is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:15, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
