... that the archaeologist and politician Hormuzd Rassam personally intervened for the release of captived Assyrians during the Massacres of Badr Khan?

Nice enough article but I'm afraid it doesn't qualify for DYK. The article has hardly been expanded at all since creation in December 2011. Simon Burchell (talk) 20:36, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I haven't realised that the article has to be newly created/expanded. Would it pass if add a number of paraghraphs to it?--Rafy talk 23:28, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

The article needs its prose text to be 5x expanded, so a few paragraphs wouldn't do it. The prose text currently stands at 6064 bytes, so it would need to be expanded to over 30,000 characters of prose - quite a big task. The expansion would need to pass the 30,200ish characters of prose text within 5 days of the expansion starting - take a look at Wikipedia:Did you know for the DYK requirements.

I think I will withdraw the nomination. I should have read the instructions thoroughly. But will certainly be back after writing new articles.--~~
