- Comment: The only issue that might pop up in this DYK nomination is the timespan of the expansion. I began expanding the article on 8 July when it was at 22k. Now, on 30 July, the article is at 177k. The article met the 5x criteria on 15 July, when it reached 112k, but was not finished. If this is really strict, I won't have any problems with the DYK being rejected now, considering that the article is up for GAN so I'll re-nominate it for DYK once it passes the GA review sometime in the future.

5x expanded by Vacant0 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 8 past nominations.

@Vacant0: Not a review, but have you asked at WP:GARC? Some GANs take several months.--Laun chba ller 13:10, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Or over a year... GARC is a good idea, but the article is long and mostly relies on foreign-language sources, so I'll think about it. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 18:43, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are going to want to get this reviewed very quickly, because this isn't eligible at all. At time of nomination, this was 62,005 characters, and it exceeded one fifth of that on the 10th. You're asking for twenty days to be IAR'd. I won't close this as you might get lucky (e.g. Jesu, der du meine Seele, BWV 78) but as it stands, I won't be reviewing this. Also, you should know that 5x is determined by prose size, not byte size - consider installing WP:DYKCHECK.--Laun chba ller 17:21, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

at this point, the article has sat waiting for a month for resolution, so I think it's best at this point to close and wait for a GAN to pass. I do hope it does, this article looks to be in good shape :) lots of effort very clearly went into it! Best of luck at GAN, hope to see you back around soon. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 07:04, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
