Iatrochemistry

... that iatrochemistry is a combination of alchemy and medicine?

Started as 5,478 characters, now at 14,751 characters, it's far short of the 27,390 it needs to be a 5x expansion. Also, references are missing in the first few paragraphs of "History in Europe" and the entire section "Challenge to Galenic physiology". Earwig finds no copyvios, FWIW.

It's a cool topic and I'd love to see it on the Main Page, but you'd need to double the current size for it to be eligible for DYK as an expansion. However, it's on its way to what you need for Good Article status. If you can attain Good Article status, you can then nominate it again at DYK as a recent Good Article, and it would be likely to pass then. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 04:08, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Article has not been expanded at all in the past three weeks, so I think it's clear that it will not qualify as a 5x expansion. On the other hand, the article has been nominated at WP:GAN, so there is a chance that it might become eligible later this spring or summer; if that occurs, then a new DYK nomination can be submitted.
