Article created by TimShell on April 7, 2001 - this would be a "Fivefold Expansion" nomination. It needs 5X expansion of the existing article within 5 days of nomination. This was nominated on Nov 20, so 5 days before was Nov 15

Currently is 4,955 characters of readable prose (characters in the table are not counted)
5 days before the nomination, Nov 15, it was 4,927 characters of readable prose
Pepephend actually began expanding on Oct 29. Prior edit was on March 21, and had 1,205 characters

This article is tagged for having no lead section
Most of the paragraphs have no sourcing
The paragraph that mentions the hook is not sourced

That's a start. It needs work. — Maile (talk) 02:22, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Neither of the creators of the article have edited on Wikipedia since the day this was nominated, two weeks ago. Allowing until the end of the day on December 14 for issues to be addressed; given the class schedule, edits should be made by then if this article is still actively being pursued as part of course work.
