5x expanded by Cbl62 (talk). Self nominated at 03:04, 9 January 2014 (UTC).

  • Note: This article is currently nominated at AfD and was the subject of a substantial rescue effort. Nom should be held until AfD closes. Cbl62 (talk) 06:12, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
  • AfD has closed, so this is ready for review. --Orlady (talk) 16:33, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Date & length are good. No copyright issues. Some references could use access date. "The Body", used in hook, seems like synthesis. While it may be true, it's not mentioned in the two LA Times refs. Is it in NY Times ref (subscription needed)? If so, can you add quote specifically about "The Body" part? Djflem (talk) 08:37, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for the mistake. Actually this is not a 5x expansion. Prose counts before: apprx 1250, after, 3560; so won't make it. Djflem (talk) 09:47, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps Cb162 can keep typing? --PFHLai (talk) 13:39, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

5x1250=6250; article (stretching it to include caption/infobox) is at about 3950. (would require 2300). Think it's possible to expand this w/ additional info that's ref'd and not fluff? It's good work now. Djflem (talk) 22:01, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

DYKcheck shows 1241 characters of prose before Cbl62 started working on this article, an. 4327 characters now. That makes this a bit less than a 4x expansion. --Orlady (talk) 02:25, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
traveling out of country til late feb. Will not have ability to expand. I am ok with deeming this withdrawn. At least it was saved from afd. Cbl62 (talk) 23:30, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Withdrawn by nominator because it cannot be 5x expanded in a timely fashion. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:30, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
