This was created with text split from another article, according to Wikipedia:Did you know/Reviewing guide it has to have been expanded fivefold from the copied text to qualify. I'm still looking into this to determine what length the copied text was but I think it will fall short of a 5x expansion. January (talk) 12:07, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
I make the copied text 1148 characters (please see my sandbox, where I copied what I think is the relevant text in order to count it), unfortunately with the article currently at 2450 characters it is too short. I haven't seen an example of an article rejected for this reason before so I'm not sure how strictly this is applied in practice, any second opinions would be appreciated.

Fair enough, it didn't occur to me that the new article was inadmissable for those reasons. I've no intention (or scope) to expand it 5x. It was indeed inspired by the poorly sourced (a publisher's promotional page) paragraph in Fancy Nancy. Sionk (talk) 13:41, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
