5x expanded by UNSC Luke 1021 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:12, 28 November 2016 (UTC).


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Article was nominated under the description of being expanded fivefold however that does not seem to be the case. Expansion must have taken place in the last 7 days to be eligible for DYK. Kosack (talk) 19:27, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I was not trying to be deceptive or anything when it said '5x'. The template did that automatically. Thank you! UNSC Luke 1021 (talk) 19:41, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I did not mean to accuse you of trying to subvert the rules, apologies if it came across like that. To be eligible, an article must have been created, expanded fivefold or promoted to good article status within the seven days prior to the nomination. This article does not seem to meet those requirements. You can see the eligibility criteria at Did you know. Kosack (talk) 20:04, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, I was just making sure. Thanks! UNSC Luke 1021 (talk) 23:23, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, there are still several days left before the nomination passes the 7 day period if you wish to make an attempt to meet the required expansion criteria, although it may be difficult given the current size of the prose. Kosack (talk) 07:55, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Second "f" added to "that at the Battle of Raseiniai, a single KV-2 tank held off an entire Nazi Kampfgruppe for over 24 hours?" Johnbod (talk) 13:48, 2 December 2016 (UTC)


 * if for any reason you are unable to meet the 5X expansion in time, you have another option. You can take the article through WP:GAN.  If it passes GAN, renominate it here within 7 days of achieving GA.  Expansion size is not a criteria with GA nominations to DYK. — Maile  (talk) 00:19, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Closing nomination as the 7 day limit for expansion from the date of nomination has now passed and has not been met. Kosack (talk) 11:48, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
