• ... that Jeb Burton will share a ride in the 2012 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with his father Ward?

• Reviewed: HMS Telemachus (P321)
• Comment: Expanded from a UBLP, hence a 2x expansion is appropriate.

• The old version did not have footnotes. It had one reference and four external links that could be understood as references, thus disallowing 2x unsourced BLP. Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

  • I've nominated articles before that had "external link references" that were accepted as UBLP expansions in the past. I've assumed (and apparently others as well, based on those) that a UBLP is a UBLP as long as it lacks inline citations. If that's not the case here, though, no worries. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:04, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

    • The edit notice above says BLP 2x expansion "only applies to BLPs that were completely unreferenced before expansion", so that one (admittedly poor) reference is enough to derail the 2x claim. The template for BLPPROD has "reference" narrowly construed (I've had BLP Prods fail because of the existence of external links), but I'm not sure how narrow it is construed at DYK.

      • Well, it is an academic matter now now, as I have managed to throw a sufficent amount of verbosity (and additional information from a variety of sources) at the article to push it beyond the 5x expansion requirement that DYK rules dictate for articles that are not unreferenced biographies of living people. (Now to get my mind OUT of use-as-many-big-words-as-possible mode...) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:21, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
• Hook: Interesting-ish, cited, short enough.

Article: New and long enough, referencing is thorough, I don't see any unnecessary verbosity. Paraphrasing checks (1, 2, 3) looks fine.

Summary: Good to go! Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:38, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
