This article is not new or recently expanded. rʨanaɢ (talk) 20:19, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping that the new or recently expanded part was more of a suggestion than a hard and fast rule. I don't understand why this article, though it is very old, should be excluded from DYK.-Toyz1988 (talk) 20:31, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the DYK rules. WP:DYK#DYK rules clearly states, "DYK is not a general trivia section. DYK is only for articles that have been created, or expanded fivefold or more, or newly sourced BLPs that have been expanded at least twofold over the past five days." Since this does not meet the DYK criteria, I am closing the nomination. If you disagree with the DYK criteria in general, you are welcome to discuss this at Wikipedia talk:Did you know, the general discussion page. rʨanaɢ (talk) 21:19, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
