It appears that you have taken an article without any references and added sources. Good job! However, the text has not been increased 5x within 7 days of your nomination – or, giving an extra day, since December 6. Before that December 6 edit, the character count was 1660, and now it is 2779. (The lists under History don't count in the character count.) I'm afraid this doesn't satisfy the DYK rules.

@Yoninah: the article was created 13 October 2015 then moved to userspace on 19 October 2015 (presumably it was accidentally created in mainspace?) It was then worked on in the userspace before being moved back to mainspace on 14 December 2015. Jolly Ω Janner 07:39, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you, @Jolly Janner: for clarifying that. I did spend a lot of time looking at the history, but didn't catch that. So yes, the article is eligible as a start-class article. However, it needs copyediting for English grammar, and a tag has been placed on the page to that effect. The paragraph under Meaning of the Name needs at least one citation, per DYK rules. Pinging @Piotrus: to ask if the foreign-language refs are reliable sources. Yoninah (talk) 10:23, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I don't read Korean, but some of the refs are major Korean newspapers. I would really prefer to have a Korean speaker check if those references support the text in the article (students often have problems with that part, sigh), but since nobody is likely to help, I can't but say AGF here. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:38, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Piotrus, without a copyedit, the article can't be promoted regardless of the sourcing. If no one is going to take care of that and the other templated article issues—and since neither article creator has edited since December 18, it seems unlikely that they'll be doing anything more to the article—then I don't see this nomination can proceed any further.

- @BlueMoonset: I agree. Sadly, students rarely care about their articles one's the course ends; if I am not there to ride herd on them, things don't usually get fixed :( I see no alternative but to fail it. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 19:40, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- Per Piotrus, the identified issues with the article don't have anyone to fix them, so this nomination is marked for closure as unsuccessful. Sorry things didn't work out. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:46, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
