QPQ: None required.

Overall: The article was not 5x expanded. It was 1534 prose characters pre-expansion and is currently at 3027 prose characters. This nomination could pass if the article is further expanded. Also, the source for ALT0 doesn't mention that this was the shortest Texas speaker term, just that his term was 7 days. There could be a second source added to provide all the information. Copyvio check fine. No QPQ required. ALT0 is more interesting in my opinion. Riley1012 (talk) 00:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

@Aneirinn: Pinging and leaving a message on your talk page since it's been nearly a week. -Riley1012 (talk) 20:29, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

@Riley1012: The nominator hasn't edited since the day of the nomination. Should this nomination proceed, perhaps with a different editor who can adopt this, or is it time to close? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
@Narutolovehinata5: I don't have a preference, if someone wants to take this up go ahead. -Riley1012 (talk) 02:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I would say that at nearly 5000 characters short and with no reasonable chance of expansion, this should not take up any more of our time. I suggest giving @Aneirinn: another couple of days to respond before closing this.--Laun chba ller 07:44, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
