Insufficient recent expansion

Alberto Pla y Rubio

Monochrome reproduction of Pla's 1895 work ¡A la guerra!

... that ¡A la guerra!, the prize-winning painting of Alberto Pla y Rubio, hangs in the town hall of Alcalá de Henares?

Comment: Image of 1895 painting made in 1900, so still public domain

At the moment, this article is too short to qualify for DYK. It needs to be at least 1500 characters long and at the moment it is 1029 characters. Can you find some more information to add? Also, you seem to have at least five previous DYK nominations and will need to do a QPQ review of another nomination. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:52, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth:

The length problem may be a deal-breaker, unfortunately. I will see what I can do, but I've almost exhausted my store of knowledge on the subject. Now that the nomination has been made, how much time do I have to make changes? Also, is there a tool I can use to find out what the count actually is by DYK standards? I assume it's not counting infoboxes, external links, citations, etc, but it would be useful to be able to know before I resubmit.
In my most recent DYK nomination, the automatic review said it would be three more DYKs before I needed to do a QPQ. Can you show me how you counted 5?

Thanks. ubiquity (talk) 15:17, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

I found one recent DYK and four more in one of your talk page archives (Archive2?). As for the character count, I have a tool on my sidebar called "page size", but I don't remember quite how I acquired it, though I think it was through the preferences tab at the top of the page. I think that you could have a week or two to get the article to a sufficient length. Would this be of any help? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:53, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

I have just pinged Ubiquity's talk page, and the reply there is that there is no expansion forthcoming at the present time. Under the circumstances, I don't think we have any choice but to close the nomination, as the article is far too short for DYK. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:01, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
