Comment: The expansion of the article began in my userspace on 8 November, and was moved to mainspace on 9 November. This is my 4th DYK nomination. Please note that the DYK check tool seems to be throwing an API error for this article (at least for me). Cross-check prose size manually. It was 912 chars (144 words) prior to the expansion and 4639 chars (754 words) after it, which is 5x.

5x expanded by Ciridae (talk). Self-nominated at 11:19, 9 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]

New enough, long enough (narrow 5x expansion), well-written and within policy. Both hooks are supported by inline citations which check out; the original hook is the better one in my opinion, and is very "hooky". QPQ not needed according to nominator (AGF) and there is no picture. This is good to go. Good quality article, nice to see. Yakikaki (talk) 20:13, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
