5x expanded by Materialscientist (talk) and MRRaja001 (talk). Nominated by MRRaja001 (talk) at 17:28, 22 December 2020 (UTC).

Sigh, this is a fine detailed article but I see no 5-times expansion over 7 days before nominating, and many paragraphs are without citation. The set for 2 January is already made. My recommendation: source the remainder of the article and nominate as Good article (WP:GA) in November 2021 for 2 January 2022. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:29, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I will start working on article and nominate to WP:GA. - MRRaja001 ^(talk) 09:46, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

That's great. Will you do that soon, or should we close this and you nominate again when approved? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:48, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Okay, I'll nominate the DYK after the article becoming GA, Thank you. - MRRaja001 ^(talk) 18:27, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

close per above --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
