Nominator won't be expanding article to full 5x

Abemama

 * ... that Robert Louis Stevenson spent 2 months on Abemama in Kiribati in 1889, and later wrote about the island chief Tem Binoka in his book In the South Seas?

 * Symbol delete vote.svg Hook looks ok, sources looks ok, no issues with neutrality. However as the article was referenced prior to expansion it fails the 5x expansion rule. yorkshiresky (talk) 07:56, 29 April 2013 (UTC)


 * To be clear, the article was expanded from 2154 prose characters to 4607 prose characters (tables and lists don't count for DYK). In order to qualify as 5x, it would need to be expanded to at least 10770 characters, another 6163 prose characters. That seems extremely unlikely, though if the nominator believes it can be done within a week or two, the attempt can be made. (Please let us know right away if you wish to try.)

 * Nope let's leave it - I wasn't aware that the "5x expansion" was done on a count of prose characters.--Obkiribati1 (talk) 01:23, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
