Mattythewhite Looking at the article history, the text for York City F.C. (1908) is copied almost entirely from History of York City F.C. (1922–1980). Whilst a valid article split, DYK rules say that the content has to be new: WP:DYKCRIT#DYK Criteria 1a, For DYK purposes, a "new" article is no more than seven days old, and may not consist of text spun off from a pre-existing article.
I will check at WT:DYK, but I believe that splits from existing articles aren't eligible for DYK. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:27, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- Insufficient amount of content added to qualify as a fivefold expansion. Due to the size of the prose, it is unlikely that this nomination would be expanded to meet requirements. This could be marked for closure if no expansion is planned. Flibirigit (talk) 14:25, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- That's a shame, but it makes sense and is something I should have picked up on when making the nomination. The limited source material available for a football club which existed for only nine years over a hundred years ago means expanding the article much beyond where it is now will be very difficult.

Given that the nominator has acknowledged that further expansion will be difficult, the nomination is now marked for closure. There is however still a path for the article to be featured on DYK and that is if the article is brought to GA status. There is no prejudice against a new nomination being opened if the article becomes a GA. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:42, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
