Ben Orloff
edit- ... that Ben Orloff set school records in college baseball for career hits, runs scored, and games played at the University of California, Irvine?
- Comment: Just a hair shy of 5x as I type this (I may get it past 5x), but it qualifies as a 2x expansion of an unsourced BLP.

2x expanded and sourced (BLP) by Muboshgu (talk). Self nominated at 01:22, 18 February 2013 (UTC).
I would consider the external links section as a general reference to sources, which is also implied by {{no footnotes}}. Aim for 5x expansion, which the article is anyways close to.—Bagumba (talk) 23:39, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- It's come up before in discussion elsewhere (too busy to devote time to finding it, I have somebody coming to see me at any moment), but according to DYK external links like baseball stat pages don't count towards referencing. I could dig that up, but it might just be faster to complete the 5x, since this is just a hair under. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- Got a no-show, it would seem. So, here is a discussion about unreferenced meaning no inline citations. But, I added a little text to the article and it is now 5.01x expanded. I also provided QPQ. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
