- I don't think this is DYK eligible. Per F8, " A 'new' article is no more than seven days old. This does not include articles split from older articles, although an article sufficiently expanded from a section of an older article can be a fivefold expansion." buidhe 22:29, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Given the minimal size of the section in the article before I rewrote it in under a week, I'm sure it qualifies. Kingsif (talk) 03:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Before your edits which began 4 April, there was 5519 characters of readable prose in the "history" section. History of Flagstaff, Arizona currently has 24 kB of readable prose, slightly less than 5x epansion. (you need 27595 characters). Seven days before you nominated it, however, the history section in Flagstaff had already been significantly expanded [3]. Although personally, I think 5x expansion should be relaxed, technically it's not eligible for DYK. buidhe 04:17, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- No, don't worry - and I kind of like the 5x rule, it makes it a challenge when I do get an article over that threshold ;) Kingsif (talk) 15:45, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: How do I un-nominate again? Kingsif (talk) 00:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Kingsif, you just say you want to withdraw the nomination, and we close it as withdrawn. Shall I do so? (I did double check using Duplication Detector, and since nearly half of the article came from Flagstaff as it was prior to April 6, it isn't eligible.) Note that should the article ever become a GA, it will be eligible for DYK at that time. Sorry it didn't work out this time! BlueMoonset (talk) 01:49, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
