  • Regrettably, this article is not eligible under DYK rules. Even treating this as a slightly late nomination, with the expansion starting on August 21 when it had 14922 prose characters, it is not close to a 5x expansion even today, with 40254 prose characters (not even 2.5x, I'm afraid), though still an impressive addition of over 25K prose characters. I'm afraid that the only chance that the article has to qualify for DYK at this point is to become a Good Article, for which it would need to be nominated for and passed as a GA, and thus meet the Good Article criteria. Best of luck in getting it to that state, PericlesofAthens; if you do, be sure to renominate the article for DYK within seven days of it achieving GA status. Thanks for submitting to DYK, and I hope you will do so again in future. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:24, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
