5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:00, 4 February 2021 (UTC).

• Note: Article is eligible has it has only been on recent deaths section of ITN (and so is eligible as per WP:DYKRULES rule 1d clarification on RD)
• This doesn't look to have been quite 5x expanded. Excluding the discography section (as bulleted information doesn't count towards the character count), this version had 868 characters, and the current version has 4070 characters, which is short of the 4340 characters that are needed for 5x expansion. Bloom6132 would you be able to add 270 characters or more of text to the article? Joseph2302 (talk) 17:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

• @Joseph2302: It passes 5× expansion, because the November 8, 2020 version (i.e. version immediately before January 28 edits) is 743 characters. That means 3,715 characters are required (already met). I had the same discussion with Yoninah on Template:Did you know nominations/Héctor Suárez. —Bloom6132 (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

• My mistake, the article has been 5x expanded (I was checking a few diffs out from the correct one). Let me do a full review then:
• Y Article is long enough (4070 characters), has been 5x expanded, as per above discussion, and nominated in time (expansion started 28 January, nominated 2 February). Article is within policy
• Y Hooks are short enough, interesting, in the article and well cited
• Y Image is freely licenced (PD), used in the article, and looks decent at low resolution
• Y QPQ done
• Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:14, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
