Sandplace
[edit]- ... that in 1970, Peter Bessell, the Liberal MP for the Bodmin constituency and a resident of Sandplace fled abroad to avoid debt?
5x expanded by Jowaninpensans (talk). Self nominated at 11:04, 25 March 2014 (UTC).
Article has been 5x expanded with the past 5 days, but is still not long enough (only 1406 characters). Also the reference for the is a hook is a hotel website which is not the most reliable of sources (the site provides a link to Peter Bessel's Wikipedia page, which may also bring up the issue of WP:CIRCULAR). Furthermore, the first reference appears to be a dead link. Other than that, the article is neutral and does not contain close paraphrasing, copyright violations, or plagiarism. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 18:29, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Have just pinged the nominator's talk page since there hasn't been a response. To clarify one point above: all articles nominated for DYK must have a minimum of 1500 prose characters whether new or 5x expanded, and while this is 5x expanded, it still doesn't meet DYK's minimum length.

There is still no response from the nominator, who has been active on Wikipedia. It's been over three weeks, so it's time to close this as unsuccessful. I've given a final courtesy ping. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:06, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
