- Comment: I started to expand this article in August 21 and he is a character that should be more known abroad. The PDF link is from the publisher itself, not an pirated copy. Erick Soares3 (talk) 14:20, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
5x expanded by Erick Soares3 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:20, 1 September 2021 (UTC).
- I'm not sure whether this is a 5x expansion. The version as of August 20 is 980 words, and the version as of August 28 is 4,206 -- although the article looks to have been vastly improved, so I don't expect to encounter any problems there. Have you considered nominating it as a GA? If it's made a GA, it'll immediately become eligible for DYK. jp×g 19:04, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Erick Soares3, the article had 6427 prose characters prior to when your expansion began on August 21. A 5x expansion would need therefore to be to 32135 prose characters, and the article currently has 27994 prose characters. You would need to add another 4141 prose characters to reach the 5x expansion. (DYK deals in prose characters, not words.) Do you think you could add that much new material to the article? If not, then doing a GA nomination may indeed be the way to go. Note that as the article expansion started on August 21, it should have been nominated within seven days, by August 28. It is up to jp×g to decide whether four days late on a second nomination should be given an exception. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:41, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hello @JPxG and BlueMoonset: I didn't considered to nominate it as an GA, but I will read on it. On the 5x expansion: I didn't wrote that. it was just a thing that showed up when I did the nomination and I thought that it was just an automatic calculus from the template, but by the BlueMoonset reply, is clear that something went wrong. I've took sometime before nominating it because I wanted to finish the book that I was reading to improve the article. Erick Soares3 (talk) 13:23, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
I followed your suggestions and nominated it as an GA. Let's see what happens. Erick Soares3 (talk) 13:44, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- Erick Soares3, I see that you just removed the GA nomination. It is still possible for this DYK nomination to be considered if you think you'll be able to do the expansion now. Otherwise, we will have to close it as unsuccessful, but you can always renominate the article for DYK should you eventually succeed in bringing it to GA status. Best of luck, whatever you decide. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:33, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
