The High Llamas[edit]

(

)

... that the High Llamas, a 1990s avant-pop band associated with Stereolab, almost recorded an album with the Beach Boys?

Expanded by Ilovetopaint on 25 December (talk). Self-nominated at 16:30, 29 December 2017 (UTC).

Good job expanding, but it seems like this wasn't expanded 5x. 7 days ago, it was at 3739 characters of readable prose. It is currently at 10544 characters, but a 5x expansion would require 18695 bytes. /~hue sat lum/ 02:57, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

@HueSatLum: The article was rewritten completely from scratch. Everything apart from the infobox and quotebox from this revision was unsourced. If I had removed all the uncited material before expanding, then it would have appeared as a 10x expansion. Does it make a difference that I skipped that step? --Ilovetopaint (talk) 03:32, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately, WP:DYKFN F2 states: Fivefold expansion means at least five times as much prose as the previously existing article – no matter how bad it was. So it doesn't matter that the previous content was unsourced. /~hue sat lum/ 03:52, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

OK then I guess I'll resubmit after it's reviewed for GA.--Ilovetopaint (talk) 04:55, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Okay, marking X for clarity. /~hue sat lum/ 14:41, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
