Overall: 
The article pre-expansion was 1,418 bytes, which means that the expansion needs to exceed 7,090 bytes. As of now, it seems that it is approximately ~6,400 bytes. Can anything else be added to the article, @Aria1561:? BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:39, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Based on what WP:DYKLEN says, only the prose size is considered when determining DYK eligibility, not article byte size or total character length including the lead. The prose size prior to expansion was 1,028 characters and currently the prose size stands at 5,363 characters based on a manual calculation, which is over five times the pre-expansion size.

- @BeanieFan11: Requesting an update after a week. Aria1561 (talk) 00:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry, will check soon. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:47, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
- BeanieFan11 According to the page size tool, the article had 1,421 characters of prose prior to expansion. It is currently at 6,266 characters of prose. The article needs 7,105 characters of prose to be a 5x expansion. SL93 (talk) 14:49, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- That's what I thought. @Aria1561: How are you getting 1,028 characters? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding something, but is the lead not taken into account when determining prose size? If I take the 1,028 I calculated and add the lead to it, I get 1,418 which is very similar to what the tool is displaying. My belief had been that the article text following the lead was considered prose, but if that's not the case then I will further expand the article if necessary. Aria1561 (talk) 17:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- The page size automatically includes the lead, and the lead counts as prose. It is not a 5x expansion. There is no need to attempt it manually when a tool does it automatically. SL93 (talk) 17:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- Very well then, I will add more to the article within the coming days. Aria1561 (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: I believe the article should be past the 5× expansion threshold now. Aria1561 (talk) 04:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay.
