  • DoctorAB, this unfortunately does not meet the DYK criteria in two major ways. First, although the article was created on November 3, it was not nominated until December 15, which is 42 days after creation. DYK rules require that nominations be made within 7 days of creation or fivefold expansion, and while they have a little stretch to them, five weeks is way beyond that. Second, articles for DYK must be at least 1500 prose characters, and this one was only 712 characters, less than half the required size. You could always expand the article now, but that would require a fivefold expansion from 712 characters to 3560 characters, which seems very unlikely. Best of luck with your next nomination; please be sure to transclude it next time—that message was put on your talk page for a reason! Thanks for thinking of DYK.
