Created/expanded by Sitush (talk). Nominated by Timtrent (talk) at 00:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

• Comment the major expansion was not the prior addition of the list of alumni, but the expansion of the body of the text about the school. There may be a technical element to investigate about this nomination to determine precisely what expansion has taken place when. The expander of the article has expanded the text part of the article substantially, thus I believe it counts here as a suitably expanded article. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 01:05, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

• Prior to expansion, the article had 1030 characters of prose. It currently has 5053 characters, a 4.9x expansion. Need another 97 characters for a 5x. Chris857 (talk) 01:19, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

•  Done 101 more added. Weird rule. Runs counter to using precision of language, but there it is. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 01:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

• I've just fixed the typos in the various hooks: 1991 --> 1997 - Sitush (talk)

• What happens next? Apologies I miskeyed the date in the hooks, by the way. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:43, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Someone needs to come along and give a full review. I only checked the length requirement. Be patient; several nominations even date from September and October. Chris857 (talk) 03:18, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

• Patience is easy. I was just wondering :) Fiddle Faddle (talk) 10:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

• The article is expanded more than fivefold and is long enough and also new enough. The facts mentioned in the original hook are supported by inline citations. I prefer this to the other hooks which rely only on a mention of Scott in the "Notable alumni" section. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
