Not enough expansion

Babe Ruth Award

 * ... that the Babe Ruth Award, given to the Most Valuable Player of the World Series, was established six years before the World Series Most Valuable Player Award?
 * Comment: I've recently expanded this, as I try to get it to FL status. I've found that this MVP award, given by the Baseball Writers Association of America predates the "official" MLB WS MVP award by six years. Although not all of the prose expansion has happened in the past five days, it is recent, and with the World Series about to begin, I think having this page be a DYK now (or at the conclusion of the World Series) would be timely. Can you WP:IAR on the expansion timeframe?

 * Symbol delete vote.svg Unfortunately, not expanded 5× in the last 5 days. See diff. I'm playing by the rules, but someone whos here more often can certainly weigh in. &mdash; KV5  •  Talk  •  21:34, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I'd say this is a case where WP:IAR might well be applicable. While the prose isn't 5x, the contents of the table - not counted by DYKcheck - were enormously expanded and improved over the series of edits. Yes, the time for the expansion and improvement period (5x or not) was longer than needed as well, but given the sheer amount of work and great improvement of this article, I'd support passing. - The Bushranger One ping only 07:52, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg I'm sorry, but the readable text is only 1500, which it has been since at least a month ago. This is a heck of a candidate for Featured List (and I hope it ends up there), but the expansion is sadly not enough for DYK. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:36, 20 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Nominator response I figured it was a long shot, but I figured it was worth a shot. See you at WP:FLC in a few days. i have a busy weekend ahead of me.– Muboshgu (talk) 03:15, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
