Per Rule A4, this is not a new article; a different version existed before it was deleted. The previous article reached 461 characters. At present, your article is 1805 characters, which is 500 characters short of a 5x expansion. Yoninah (talk) 22:03, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

You say I need to expand an article which I have not even known? If that's a rule, could we perhaps change it? Or ignore? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

I don't think so. Couldn't you add more text? Yoninah (talk) 22:48, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

I could if I had time. We rehearsed it today . - I looked at the former article now: "It has been reported that Angels' Carol has come to be associated with Christmas festivities in the United Kingdom." - Surprise? - Does it make any sense to "expand" that? Not to me. I wrote a new article. In the end I will probably oblige and pad it somehow, but with very mixed feelings. Right now, I'm just tired. - End of rant. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:02, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Yoninah, we have now 2,896 chars. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:42, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Gerda, you're terrific! 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:52, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
