2015 Tour de Suisse

edit
  • Started expansion on 9 June and the event concluded on 21 June. Mattsnow81 (Talk) 18:09, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Created/expanded by Mattsnow81 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:00, 21 June 2015 (UTC).

  • Does not meet the criteria for being new. A fivefold expansion did occur, but not in the past 7 days (11009 --> 38845 characters using the somewhat generous diff: [1]). I am a somewhat new reviewer, so a second opinion would be helpful (and easy, given the diff link provided). ~ RobTalk 12:06, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
  • The event finished on June 21st, it was therefore impossible to nominate it sooner, as I was writing it on the 21st. It started on June 13th, hence why some of it had been written before the 7 days, as I'm a guy that doesn't like to be late, I was writing whatever info I had as early as I could.

  • Nothing prevents you from nominating the article before the event is completed, although I personally agree with you that this one was better off waiting. As I mentioned on your talk page, this article could possibly be a candidate for good article status, which would make it eligible for DYK. I'd recommend trying that route, since a cursory glance at your article suggests that it's achievable. ~ RobTalk 13:02, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
  • There is an ongoing GA nom but unfortunately, this article is no longer eligible for DYK since it was already featured over at ITN on the 26 June Fuebaey (talk) 21:50, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
