• ... that Edwin Atwater (pictured) and his brother were the first people to import glass into Canada? Source: "The Atwater brothers were the first importers of glass in Canada" http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=4801
  • ALT1: ... that a metro station, library, market and avenue are all named for Edwin Atwater (pictured)? Source: https://www.proquest.com/docview/1759083959
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Me and the Spitter

5x expanded by Z1720 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:00, 3 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Edwin Atwater; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• : Procedural decline: Now Approved: the article is generally in good shape, nicely written and fully cited to solid-looking sources. No BLP or copyvio concerns in evidence. ALT0 is good, source checks out and seems reliable enough. One image, which is clearly PD (I've added the necessary US tag). However, I can't see that the article is eligible: it was created in 2006, was last at 1/5 its size in 2015, and isn't yet a GA. Perhaps nominate it as such and bring it back?

• @UndercoverClassicist: Using the DYK check script, Before the expansion, the article had 981 characters and 154 words of "readable prose size". It now has 5384 characters or 905 words "readable prose size", which fulfils the 5x expansion requirement. Z1720 (talk) 18:50, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

• Ah yes -- nudged over the line! All in order, so approved. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 19:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
