I am getting a 3.9x expansion, which is significantly short of the 5x requirements. On the other hand, the expansion is from about 3400 characters to about 13400 characters, which is a pretty significant expansion nonetheless. Personally I would give a 10,000 character expansion a pass but I am not sure others agree. I have not checked all the sourcing nor have I checked for copyvios.

Insufficient expansion is insufficient expansion. If the author has put a lot of work into the article then he/she could consider nominating it for WP:GAN. rʨanaɢ (talk) 23:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
