The result was: rejected by BlueMoonset (talk) 07:36, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
Nominator, from a school course, never responded and the course is over; there was never an adequate hook, and although the article would have qualified in terms of expansion, that is not sufficient for DYK, so since no one has offered to take this on, it is being closed as unsuccessful.

Expanded by Saborbie (talk). Self-nominated at 03:38, 24 April 2019 (UTC).

• At the time of nomination, the only change from the past month week was from CommonsDelinker. hinnk (talk) 04:08, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

• Comment: the article was expanded from 1597 prose characters to 2000 prose characters on April 7 (definitely within the past month), a 20% expansion. So the nomination was made 17 days after that expansion, or 10 days late. It would need to be expanded to 7985 prose characters to meet the 5x (500%) expansion requirement, which does not seem to be feasible. In addition, the hook does not meet DYK requirements for formatting or interesting facts. Best of luck for next time; before the next nomination, I suggest that Saborbie read WP:DYK to find out more about how DYK works and what it expected. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:49, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

• Sorry yes, the expansion was within the past month but way outside the window to nominate for DYK. Amended my original comment. hinnk (talk) 20:16, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

• The nominator appears to be working on the article in their sandbox, and it looks as if a 5x expansion will be achieved. Marking this to keep the nomination open until the article is updated with new text or the semester is over, whichever occurs first. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:43, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

• Saborbie, thanks for submitting this DYK nomination. if you wish to pursue it—it definitely now qualifies—you will have to provide an interesting hook about the article (the initial one you tried does not qualify; please see the guidance about hooks at WP:DYK). If you aren't interested, then we can just close it. However, we need to hear from you here. Hope you respond soon! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:54, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
• The nominator edited as part of a class course and has not edited since the course ended on May 18. The article probably can still make it to DYK: the main issue is that there are several unsourced paragraphs and even a "citation needed" tag. I've tried coming up with a hook but I'm currently turning up a blank. I'll leave a message at WT:DYK requesting if anyone is willing to adopt this nomination, but if there is no response this will have to be closed. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 01:48, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
• It has been several days since I made the request on DYK, without receiving a response. Considering the fact that it appears no one right now is willing to adopt the nomination, and that the nominator is no longer editing, it is with regret that this is marked for closure as unsuccessful.
