DYKcheck tool reports "Article has not been expanded 5x since it was created". (Article history shows 2,074 bytes when imported from German Wikipedia, is now 9,086 bytes. Just a little short.) Length is good, creation date is good. Citations are good. Hook facts neutral and verified by reference. Hook formatted correctly. Article just needs expansion to clear DYKcheck tool.

Why would a brand new article have to be expanded 5 times? Bizarre. I nominated it on the 5th day of creation as a new article.

I think the length is ok now, but if not, just let me know and I'll continue to work on it. Thanks. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:36, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I've done what I could. If a recheck doesn't indicate it's long enough, perhaps Dr. B or Gerda have access to additional resources. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:50, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I have it Watchlisted and I've been monitoring all morning in hopes that the article would cross the threshold. It must be close - the raw size has gone from 2,974 to 12,914 bytes (although that includes all of the references and mark-up). Belchfire (talk) 19:01, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
