Overall: DYK checker says the 5x expansion hasn't taken place. However, the prose count before expansion was 1325 characters (228 words) "readable prose size"", while after expansion is "6716 characters (1152 words) "readable prose size"" Therefore, based on character count and word count I think this article passes the 5x expansion requirement. All ALTs have been approved. Z1720 (talk) 14:58, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
