5x expanded by Kingsif (talk). Self-nominated at 00:17, 16 December 2018 (UTC).
Good article. Article is new enough and long enough, sourced and neutral. Went from 600 to 4000 bytes so more than 5x. Some refs not available online - good faith assumed, except on the hook which we must have certainty on. I looked at two other sources to confirm that this was really Chavez's favorite, but they both talk about "two of his favorite", the other mentioned being Amaneció de golpe.[1][2]. Both ALT1 and ALT2 are good to go. Onceinawhile (talk) 09:36, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
