A Head Full of Dreams
[edit]- ... that the Coldplay's upcoming album A Head Full of Dreams features the U.S. President Barack Obama?

I regret that this article, good though it appears, does not qualify for DYK. It was created on October 30 with 3602 prose characters, and was not nominated within seven days as new, which is required for DYK. It was nominated 29 days after creation, over three weeks late, so it can only qualify as a 5x expansion—again, the expansion needs to occur within a seven day period. Unfortunately, the article currently stands at 4179 prose characters, not much larger than its initial creation. At this point, the only chance for this to qualify as a DYK would be as a Good Article (see the GA criteria and GA instructions for how this process works); again, the article would need to be nominated with seven days of being listed as a Good Article. Sorry that the nomination didn't work out; you may want to check the DYK rules for the various length and newness requirements associated with the process so that you can be sure future nominations will qualify.

- This is my first time nominating an article for DYK? and I understand why it didn't work out. I'll go through the links which you have mentioned above and make sure it follows the rules when I nominate another article in the future. Thanks. Ayub407talk 09:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Ayub407, if you continue to improve this article and - once you feel it's ready - nominate it as a Good Article, you can re-submit this article at DYK once it becomes a Good Article (it would need to be nominated within seven days of being promoted to GA).
