Les Twins

(

)

... that identical twin brothers Larry and Laurent Bourgeois of the French dance duo Les Twins started walking at five months old?

ALT 1 (Mizztotal (talk) 2:09, 22 December 2012 (UTC)): *... that the French dance duo Les Twins won the Hip-hop New Style division of Juste Debout in 2011?

2x expanded and sourced (BLP) by Mizztotal (talk). Self nom at 13:13, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

: Article had been expanded by at least five times on 5 December 2012, and appears to be properly referenced (though archive URLs could be added to avoid link rot). Some of the paragraphs in the article are very short, consisting of only one or two sentences – perhaps these can be combined to form longer paragraphs. The photographs in the article are properly licensed. Both of the hooks are evidenced by offline sources, which I've accepted in good faith. I don't have a particular preference for one of the hooks. — SMUconlaw (talk) 15:39, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

It is important to point out that while the article was properly expanded, it was not nominated within five days of the start of the expansion as DYK requires, but 17 days afterward on December 22. This is a new user who we're very happy to see here in DYK, and with such an excellent reworking of an article stub, so I'm glad to support an exception being given (which the rules do allow for if even older nominations are still being reviewed). However, to clarify, this would not have qualified for the 2x BLP guideline as the pre-existing (November 21) article had five inline source citations (there must be no references of any kind); as it is instead a 6x expansion (from 1209 to 7504 prose characters), the article exceeds the usual 5x requirement.

Oops, forgot about the five-day requirement. Gosh, DYK reviewing is tough. There are so many different things to remember. — SMUconlaw (talk) 16:10, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
