• ... that Nicki Minaj (pictured) was given 48 hours to write her rap verse for Rihanna's song "Raining Men" and wrote it in bed?

• - Hook is interesting, and pictures of celebrities are great attention-grabbers, but this article doesn't meet criteria. While it was greatly expanded in the last five days, DYK requires at least 5x expansion (as from a stub article). While the article has nearly doubled, it doesn't meet criteria. Sorry. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 06:20, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

• How much am I out by? Aaron • ^{You Da One}

• It's at 9757 characters, just before your first edit in the last 5 days (here) it was at 5824 characters. That's not even 2x, 5x would probably be impossible. The rule is written that way for people to expand on stubs; it's easy to get 5x when the article only has 2 lines in it. So, while it is still an impressive expansion, I don't think it's possible to qualify it for DYK at this point. I'm using the tool WP:DYKCHECK if you want to see for yourself. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 10:09, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

• Okay thanks. No there's not really any other info I could include. I just expanded it but wasn't really sure how much I had expanded by, but it looked like a lot to me lol. Aaron • ^{You Da One} 10:22, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

• The minimum size for a new article here is 1500, and you added 3933 to that one. So it's still a lot, even if it doesn't qualify here. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 16:24, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
