Overall: The article's revision history confirms the DYK check tool assessment of no 5x expansion within the required time. ~ RLO1729^💬 06:04, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

More specifically, before expansion began, it was 5810 prose characters, meaning a five times expansion would have to be 29050, but it's currently 19018. Maury Markowitz, I doubt you'd be able to add another 10k prose characters, but if you get it to good article status, you may resubmit within a week of that designation.

DYK check told me it was five days when I clicked it. But I give up. Withdraw. But how is this a stub? Maury Markowitz (talk) 01:13, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Maybe you saw DYK check reporting that the 5x expansion began on June 13, and thought that was a few days ago, without noticing that it's actually June 13, 2016. It's too bad you didn't nominate it after your 2016 expansion of the article.... MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

The article was a stub when DYK nominated and reviewed. I then upgraded it to C class after some copy editing. The article is not too far from GA; well done bringing it so far. Cheers, ~ RLO1729^💬 01:35, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

@RLO1729:Stub tab was removed in 2017. Am I missing something? Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:39, 22 June 2020 (UTC) Ohhhh, you mean on the talk page tab... those should be removed IMHO. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:40, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, the article was still classed as a stub on the Talk page on 17 June 2020, please see this diff. The DYK check tool also flagged the article as a stub. Nevertheless, I hope the article can be brought to GA status and that you will consider resubmitting a DYK then. :) ~ RLO1729^💬 12:36, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
