5x expanded by Tom Morris (talk). Self nominated at 07:02, 13 April 2013 (UTC).
Article must be changed from stub classification for DYK. The cited fact is cited to Armstrong's own writing, which is okay but not as good as if a WP:Secondary source commented on his view. The expansion from 2127 characters to 10866 is sufficient (5x). There are some paragraphs without references, so I will give this nomination a chance to come up to the DYK bar.

- It's OK to use some common sense - an article with 10k of prose is never a stub, even if the talk page WikiProject tags have not been updated. --ThaddeusB (talk) 11:42, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- If it was a matter of just the stub classification (DYK rule D11) I would have fixed it myself and quickly okayed the DYK nomination. In this case, however, some paragraphs are unreferenced (DYK rule D2) and the nominator (or someone else) needs to add a reference to them. Binksternet (talk) 12:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- Yes I realize that a stub classification wasn't the only issue, but it was listed as a issue. --ThaddeusB (talk) 19:05, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- I'll add some references tommorrow. I've been a bit busy at work. I'll ping Binksternet once I've fixed the issues. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:42, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
