5x Expanded by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 20:23, 5 August 2020 (UTC).[reply]

@Lee Vilenski: Drive by comment: Since this article was made in 2006, you would have to update this nomination to state what it qualifies under. Based on the August 1st edit, I persume it'd be a 5x one as it's not a newly made or GA article. I don't have access to the Almanac so I can't fully review it. I'll leave that for someone else. Also, a QPQ is needed. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:53, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, it's a 5x expansion. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:55, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lee Vilenski: It has been almost two weeks since you nominated this article and you haven't yet provided a QPQ. 97198 (talk) 23:52, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting event, good expansion, on good sourcs, no copyvio obvious. I like the original best. You probably want links to Williams, - if not rephrase please to have the event in front. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:58, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
