  • TSventon, that particular criterion means that you can't copy text from an existing article into a new one and submit that as new. You can, however, start a new article with text from an existing one and then expand on it so the pre-existing text is a modest part of the whole. WP:DYKSG#A5 notes that the pre-existing text must be expanded fivefold to qualify for DYK, and I don't believe that level of expansion has been done: the article started with 3481 prose characters copied in, and while some of the material hasn't survived, with the article currently at 11041 prose characters, only 2209 original prose characters need to remain. It looks like more than that does, so this does not qualify regardless of whether it's a fork or not. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:21, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
BlueMoonset, that was what I was trying to say, thank you for explaining it more clearly. TSventon (talk) 15:28, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
