- Comment: If possible I would like this nomination to be on main page on July 25, 2019
5x expanded by Moon Gin (talk). Self-nominated at 07:32, 12 July 2019 (UTC).
- Hook will need to be tweaked for English usage: there is no "fastest time". Drmies (talk) 01:16, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
Regrettably, this nomination is not eligible for DYK. Since the article has been around since 2017, this can either qualify as a 5x expansion—made five times as long as it was—or as a newly passed Good Article. The latter did not happen, and the expansion is only from 5119 prose characters from 5794 prose characters, a 1.13x expansion. To make 5x, the article would need to increase to 25,595 prose characters, which is just not practical. I'm sorry for the bad news. If the article should ever become a Good Article—it would need a great deal of work to meet the Good Article criteria—you are welcome to renominate at that time. Sorry for the bad news.
