- Comment: Nominating for DYK following failed ITN nomination.
5x expanded by PCN02WPS (talk), Dmoore5556 (talk), and Muboshgu (talk). Nominated by PCN02WPS (talk) at 17:45, 13 January 2021 (UTC).
The article missed some critical dates while pursuing ITN, and now it is too long ago that expansion happened. Otherwise, the image is copyright free, the hook is good, the article is suitably referenced and neutral, and QPQ is completed. Here's my calculation of expansion dates, which must see a 5× increase over seven days. If we start at January 1, then the article was at 1343 characters (222 words), with expansion seven days later on Jan 8 at 3196 characters (542 words) – not quite 3×. If we start at January 6, the article was at 2844 characters (485 words), and its expansion at Jan 13 was at 8781 characters (1480 words). These were the two likeliest periods of DYK expansion, showing the greatest expansion in the shortest period of time, but they don't achieve the required 5× level in seven days. The listed day of January 11 shows even less expansion in seven days: 2844 characters (485 words) being increased to 3204 characters (543 words), which is not even 2× expansion. I'm sorry, but this nomination, worthy though the topic may be, doesn't qualify. Binksternet (talk) 05:35, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
