5x expanded by Rlendog (talk). Self nom at 00:49, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

• Fascinating article, nice work! As for the nomination: Certainly passes article length criterion. It's listed as a "5x expansion," but I think it should be considered a "new" article, no? Rlendog started the article on August 18, it was a redirect before that. Sourcing looks solid for all three hooks. I prefer Alt 2, I think it's the most interesting point; but any of the hooks could work. -Pete (talk) 04:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

• Thanks! I'm never sure whether expanding a redirect counts as a new article or an expansion, and I've always listed them as expansions, but I don't think it makes a practical difference. Rlendog (talk) 18:20, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
