Palace on Wheels

expanded by Human3015 (talk). Self-nominated at 01:24, 12 August 2015 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg Not a fivefold. As from improving the article, the difference in size is very little. When the rules say fivefold, they meant in prose. In other words, a lot of details must be added. And I don't think the article qualifies as GA at this time. George Ho (talk) 06:11, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Template:Ping I removed 5x. Actually this is my one of first nomination and didn't know much about this issue. I didn't nominate it for GA, but it is for DYK. I will work on article little bit more. --Human3015Send WikiLove  06:28, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Any expansion under fivefold wouldn't be acceptable. By the way, here are rules from WP:DYK. George Ho (talk) 06:42, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg The article has 1726 characters of prose and is eligible for DYK. Posted by due date. Hook is interesting and reference is verified. QPQ is not required as nominator has less than5 DYKs. No copy vio noted and the text is neutral. Good to go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvvchar (talkcontribs) 02:27, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Symbol delete vote.svg Too short to be GA. Still not enough expansion. George Ho (talk) 16:41, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Human3015, before you started editing, the article had 1658 prose characters. After your edits, the total is now 1728 prose characters. The minimum expansion for existing articles is five times its previous length, as noted above; that means the article would need to be 8440 prose characters to be eligible for DYK, which does not strike me as feasible. At this point, the article's only hope to someday be eligible for DYK is to become a Good Article (GA), and then nominated for DYK within seven days of being listed. The GA criteria would need to be met, and articles this short rarely cover the topic in sufficient depth to qualify. For new articles (nominated within seven days of creation), 1500 prose characters is the minimum required for DYK, so you might want to try nominating one of those in future.
