- Comment: This redirect was converted into an article using content spun-out from private highways in the United States as a basis; however, entirely new and revised content is over 1500 characters.
Converted from a redirect by The Bushranger (talk). Self-nominated at 01:07, 15 December 2017 (UTC).
New, in time, long enough, sourced, inline hook citation checks out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done, image is appropriately licensed. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:53, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
How much of the material actually came from the earlier article? According to DYK rules (WP:DYKSG#A5), If some of the text in a nominated article was copied from another Wikipedia article, and the copied text is more than seven days old, then the copied text must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a separate article.
The article is currently 2755 prose characters; if 551 or fewer of those come from the private highways in the United States article, it's fine. If more than that was copied from that article, then I'm afraid there's a problem. BlueMoonset (talk) 08:25, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: ...well, that's a little awkward; I was unaware of that as I don't think I've submitted a spinout before, and so I assumed "1500 non-spun-out characters" was acceptable. I can see the reasoning behind it, while at the same time, it seems very easily gameable (WP:BEANS). That said, once I chopped away stuff that had changed or been added, the copied text was 843 characters, so I've grabbed a couple of the refs and expanded the article to 4230 characters. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:01, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- Restoring tick due to expansion. The content on the original page was only 982 characters, and—without going word by word—it's clear that some of it was taken out, and much of it rephrased. 843 (number given by The Bushranger, which seems accurate) *5 = 4,215, and a manual count also comes up with 4,230 for current length. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:16, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
