Thank you for submitting your first DYK nomination. Unfortunately, this has not been sufficiently expanded. According to the rules, an article must be new or the prose must be five times expanded within five days of nomination. The prose size just before you started editing on January 10 was 5455 characters, and it's currently 7333, a 1.3 × expansion. Another 19,942 would be required for the necessary expansion. Please try again with your next article. Note that you may develop new or expanded articles in your user space for as long as you like, and the five days only applies after it's put in article space.
