- Content appears to be new enough having been created on 23 September with minor work done since.
Prose is insufficient in length. According to my count there are 1,344 characters of prose (not including spaces and footnotes) in 269 words in this article (about 1,600 when including spaces and footnotes). This is less than 200 shy of the 1,500 character requirement.Prose is sufficient, see below.- Content appears to be within policy.
- Hook length is under 200 characters (with or without spaces)
- Content is cited.
- Nominator has reviewed another nomination.
- No image was provided to check.

- @RightCowLeftCoast: That's odd, according to the script I used it is 1576 B (263 words) "readable prose size", which is over the required minimum. Philg88 ♦talk 13:44, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- I copy pasted the content of the article (lead, body) into Microsoft Word and Google Document, removed footnotes. And did a word count, and this is how I came up with my figure. This is an easily solved concern.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:21, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- I believe prosesize.js is an acceptable method of calculating page size for DYK purposes. If you disagree it's no big deal if you want another 200 characters. Philg88 ♦talk 06:33, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
- Last I checked, spaces were counted towards the character limit. See WP:DYKSG A1. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:21, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Rechecking, without spaces I have 1311 characters in 265 words, with spaces it comes up to 1566.
- Therefore it appears to pass. Now if someone can please assist with the Battle of Bataan DYK nomination, that would help.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:57, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
