Hi Guywelch2000 (talk), unfortunately I don't think the 5x expansion in prose criteria has been met. I'm measuring it at about 17,400 characters at the moment (quotes, captions and lists don't count) and about 8,250 in this version of 25 November. It's already quite a long article and I don't think 5x expansion is achievable. Tour best bet for a DYK appearance is probably to get it accepted as a WP:Good Article. All the best - Dumelow (talk) 15:10, 27 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Guywelch2000 (talk) 22:32, 28 December 2022 (UTC) Thanks for your review of the submission and thoughtful response. You're right. Even though the page was expanded considerably it falls short of the 5x threshold. And there's not much left to say on the subject that would extend the page's length. I appreciate your feedback as a relatively new and learning Wikipedia contributor.Reply

Hi Guywelch2000 (talk), no problem this nomination should be automatically archived shortly. I would really consider taking the article to Wikipedia:Good article nominations, it looks pretty decent - Dumelow (talk) 06:41, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
