Well over 2000 of 3518 prose characters remain from the forked article, which wasn't all that big before the fork. Cannot possibly qualify as a 5x expansion; closing.

  • Sorry. Nice article and a great hook but as it looks to have been forked from Ornatifilum on 3/2 and has not been expanded fivefold since then, I don't think it qualifies. Perhaps I'm missing something in the transfer of content? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:45, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
  • Don't sweat it, it was a passing nom as it was a minor news story a few weeks ago. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:07, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
