Not a new article or a 5x expansion

Snailfish

  • ... that snailfish can be found at more different ocean depths than any other family of fish?

Created by MitchG265 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:01, 19 October 2020 (UTC).

  • Newly created article. Plenty long enough, well written, and no POV issues. However, there are several paragraphs that are uncited or lack citations for some information; this needs to be fixed before the article is ready for DYK. Hook is good and cited to a reliable source. QPQ not needed as this is the nominator's first DYK. If the uncited information can be properly cited, this will be ready for DYK. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:22, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
  • The nominator has not edited since October 27th and only appeared to be editing as part of a course that has now ended. I've left them a final talk page message, but as they appear unlikely to return, unless another editor comes along and decided to adopt the nomination this is now marked for closure as abandoned. Perhaps Cwmhiraeth can help?. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:00, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
  • The nominator had added some more references and I have added a couple. The article is now adequately referenced and this nomination can go ahead. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
  • @Cwmhiraeth: Did you notice the edit history? This is not a new article, nor a 5x expansion. The nominator only added references to an already-existing article. Yoninah (talk) 12:47, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
You are quite right. I assumed that Pi.1415926535 was correct when he said it was new, so I found and added some references. It seems to be ineligible for DYK. Nice fish though! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:22, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
