- ... that fourteen different political parties are represented in the 6th Democratic Parliament of South Africa? (Source: "A record 14 political parties are on their way to the National Assembly", "These are the parties that will make up South Africa’s 6th Parliament")
5x expanded by Lefcentreright (talk). Self-nominated at 18:56, 16 July 2019 (UTC).
I don't think this article is eligible for DYK; even though the nominator created it, that was back in May, and in the 7 days preceding the nomination, Lefcentreright only increased the prose size by ~900 characters, which is not an x5 expansion. However, hook is OK and image free, no QPQ required. Rcsprinter123 (witter) 15:26, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

- To clarify for the nominator: the article needs to have been expanded in the seven days prior to being nominated. In this case, the article is 5263 prose characters now, and was 3847 prose characters at the start of the seven-day period. As such, the article would need to be expanded to 19,235 prose characters to be eligible for DYK, which does not look even remotely feasible. The only possibility for the article to become eligible for DYK at this point would be for it to become a Good Article, which requires meeting the GA criteria and going through a successful nomination. Sorry for the bad news. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:12, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
