Udaipur Solar Observatory

... that the Udaipur Solar Observatory, which is situated on an island in the middle of the Fateh Sagar Lake, Udaipur, is considered as the best solar observing site in Asia?

I don't know whether you read WP:DYK rules, but the article expansion is not fivefold, and the article itself existed for eleven years. Also, the article is tagged for inadequate references, making it impossible to be GA. George Ho (talk) 16:26, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Moreover, the previous revision was about 17,000 characters in prose. The current revision is 23,000. To be a fivefold requires 85,000 total characters in prose. I don't think you can write the article very big. George Ho (talk) 00:15, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

So if i change the nomination to Udaipur Solar Observatory, will that serve the purpose?? Vishal0soni (talk) 05:40, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

No, because that also isn't either new, a recent GA or been expanded to five times its original size (it makes the hook nicer, but that's its only advantage). Belle (talk) 08:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Ok. But then i can try improving the article Udaipur Solar Observatory to 5x expansion. And if i can do so, this article will become eligible to DYK. Am i correct? Vishal0soni (talk) 08:54, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but you'd have to renominate it when you've expanded it instead of keeping this nomination open (it will need to be about 8000 characters to qualify) Belle (talk) 09:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Alright! Got this. So i'll close this one. BTW, do the newly created article, created within a month (like Sajjangarh Biological Park) can qualify for nominations? I read the terms and conditions of DYK, but have also seen some other articles with some exceptions to these conditions were also accepted. So just wondering about the process. May this line around "Within two months of its inauguration, the park has received more than 46,000 visitors in a month, generating a revenue of Rs 14 lakh for the forest department, which is a record in itself" can be used for DYK, if the article satisfies your norms. Should i apply for it? (Seek your recommendation)

That's too old; we don't normally make exceptions to the 7-day rule (much as I'd like to do away with it). Belle (talk) 09:48, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
