Insufficient expansion, no progress is addressing issue after 2 weeks

Zaki al-Arsuzi

(

... that Zaki al-Arsuzi (pictured) has been considered the principle founder of ba'athism by the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party, while Michel Aflaq is considered the principle founder of ba'athism by the Iraqi-led Ba'ath Party, since the 1966 Ba'ath Party split?

Reviewed Relief Society of Tigray

The article's too short and the hook's too long. The article has only been 4× expanded, from 4588 prose characters to 18437. Another 4503 would be required for the necessary 5× expansion. And the hook is 241 characters, way over the limit of 200. Note: I tend to only read articles about art or science, so if this does get sufficiently expanded, someone else should do the review.

The hook can probably be salvaged with something like ALT1 ... that Zaki al-Arsuzi (pictured) has been considered the principle founder of ba'athism by the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party, but not by the Iraqi-led Ba'ath Party?

But that still would not address the issue with the article length. Rlendog (talk) 18:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I am working on the issue. --TIAYN (talk) 10:58, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry. It's been ten days since I notified the author of the problem, and seven and a half days since his "working on the issue" comment. There has been some work on the article, but the prose size has actually shrunk a bit, to 18373 characters. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Just wait another week; i'm gathering sources - If I havn't started expanding the article by the next week, you can remove this nom from DYK okay? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trust Is All You Need (talk • contribs) 10:25, 2011 December 29 (UTC)
