Created by Hyacinth (talk) and Kingoflettuce (talk). Self-nominated at 00:36, 20 February 2016 (UTC).
This article has been nominated within 7 days of creation, but it does not meet the length requirement. DYK submissions must be at least 1500 characters long, not including subheads, charts, captions, and footnotes. Can you add more to the article? Yoninah (talk) 22:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Still in pretty rough shape, but there's so much potential (especially if we could rope in a Russian speaker). In any case I have done some work on it and it now is long enough, at 1700-odd chars. Cheers Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:35, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
@Kingoflettuce: I appreciate your attempt to enlarge this article, but the content is still extremely sketchy. I started to go through the sources and found the Jewish Theological Seminary source to be a treasure trove of biographical information. Even if the page creator just uses this source to add detail, it would look better than it does now. Having over 1500 characters does not automatically guarantee approval for DYK. Per Rule D7, the article should be reasonably complete and not look like a work in progress, which this one still does. I recommend that the page creator put some more work into it so it can be featured on the main page. Yoninah (talk) 21:50, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- I understand D7 but I feel the content is adequate -- total criteria would not be necessary. The problem lies in the formatting and structure of the article, something I will fix by today. A bit of repackaging, plus the addition of a bit more info, and it will be DYK-worthy. Once again I am certain it would be good to have Russian sources. Aside of his music-based career there are few biographical details, such as his death and marital status. I will keep hunting and finish it by today (within reasonable and acceptable timeframe).

- @Yoninah: How about now? Kingoflettuce (talk) 06:55, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
- May I also suggest ALT1: ... that Jewish lecturer Joseph Yasser was interested in Chinese organs? Kingoflettuce (talk) 06:57, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
Excellent work, @Kingoflettuce: you have built this into a respectable article. Here is a complete review: New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. I prefer your ALT1, which is verified and cited inline. No QPQ needed, as each page creator has less than 5 DYK credits. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 19:20, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
