White band disease

... that white band disease caused 95% of affected corals to die?

5x expanded by Bantol13795 (talk). Self nominated at 22:53, 6 April 2014 (UTC).

While a nice job of expansion and updating, this article has not been expanded 5x within the required timeframe (or, according to DYKcheck, since it was created), and there are a number of wholly unreferenced paragraphs. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:04, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

More specifically, it was 2045 prose characters before expansion, and it's now 9164, so another 1061 characters would be required for a 5× expansion. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 01:46, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

Update: it's now 9749 prose characters, which is a 4.767× expansion. It's still 476 characters short of a 5× expansion. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:58, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Now 9973 prose characters; needs to be 10225, so another 252 needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:22, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Original contributor has not edited in over a month, and a subsequent contributor has noted accuracy and clarity issues on the article's talk page, and does not believe it's ready for DYK in its current state. Closing nomination as unsuccessful due to these issues and the fact that a 5x expansion never was achieved. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:36, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
