5x expanded by Janweh64 (talk). Self nominated at 20:39, 2 March 2013 (UTC).
The page was created by Janweh64 on February 12 and nominated on March 2, which is more than the 5-day window allowed by DYK rules. Your nomination on the basis of a 5x expansion means that you would have had to expand the page 5 times between February 26 and March 2, which is not the case.

Comment: Rules state "within the past five days", which does not include March 2. Because that is the current date of nomination and not a past date. Expansion did begin within the past five days on Feb 25. So, Feb 25, 26, 27, 28, Mar 1 makes the the past five days (NO FEB 29). Check this date calculator and this page history.
- From and including: Monday, February 25, 2013
- To, but not including : Saturday, March 2, 2013
- It is 5 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date
Sorry, your reasoning does not apply to DYK, which looks at whole days, including the date of nomination. But we do make allowances for pages nominated within 6 days, which we'll do here. 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, adequately referenced. However, I cannot verify the hook fact because the link for footnote 2 is dead. Yoninah (talk) 09:07, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- Here is a Google Cache from Mar 5, 2013. Hopefully, the site is only temporarily down. I will add this new source for now.— አቤል ዳዊት?(Janweh64) (talk) 09:34, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for showing the cached page. The second source at wordpress.com is not a reliable source, so I removed it from the page. Hook ref verified. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 12:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
