- ... that Seattle-based Tom Alberg, one of the earliest investors in Amazon, was convinced of the company's promise when he could not find a book by Peter Drucker in his local bookstore? Source: https://www.wsj.com/articles/tom-alberg-early-amazon-investor-cultivated-tech-startups-11660312813
5x expanded by Ktin (talk). Self-nominated at 05:55, 13 August 2022 (UTC).
- Quick review @Ktin: Unfortunately, the article has not been expanded fivefold. DYKcheck reports 696 words (4194 chars) currently, compared to 176 (1070 chars) [on 7 August], which is almost 4x, but not 5x. Alas, the article would need to be expanded quite a bit more to meet the criteria. If there's more to add, it might be doable; otherwise there's always GA.
- But for now,

- @LordPeterII: - thanks for this catch. I had gotten my math incorrectly. Please see now. Should be at 5x. Thanks again. Ktin (talk) 16:46, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- needs an inline ref directly at the end of the sentence - Interesting:
QPQ: 
- pending
Overall: 
The technical issue solved, DYKcheck now only reports the "in the news" appearance, which isn't an issue since it was under recent deaths, not the main news. But @Ktin you still need to provide a QPQ. I'm also a little skeptical about this sentence: "... helping the firm focus on the technology led innovation coming out of the region
" – this may not be intentional, but "technology led innovation" reads a bit like marketing talk. The rest of the article is better in comparison. Please also put an inline ref in the article directly at the sentence from the hook. --LordPeterII (talk) 17:42, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks much. Acknowledging both the requests. Will have them addressed and will share an update. Ktin (talk) 15:05, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- @LordPeterII: -- added QPQ, added inline citation in the article, and did a minor reword of the highlighted sentence. Please let me know if I can help with anything else. Ktin (talk) 15:58, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Alright that's it, article is good to go (source is paywalled so AGF tick is used). --LordPeterII (talk) 16:21, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
