5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:43, 12 February 2021 (UTC).
Article is long enough (6354 characters), has just been 5x expanded from 1246 to 6354 characters (5 x 1246 = 6230), and article is within policy. Article is eligible as per WP:DYKRULES 1d, as it has appeared on Recent Deaths, but not ITN as a bolded hook- Hooks are short enough, interesting, and well cited (verification for ALT1 is available here)
- Image is public domain in US (the country of origin), used in the article, and looks good at low resolution
- QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Good to go for March 31- once bot moves it approved area, I will put it into special occasion area for March 31. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:34, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
