 * Symbol question.svg All information sufficient for readers, and references are reliable. Hook is decent and interesting. I am unsure about whether this nomination works or not. While the nomination is put at the right date, the edit that help reach the 1,500-character minimum was seven days after creation (February 2, 2013, in UTC time), which is over five days after creation, and I don't see history log of moving page into mainspace. Can anybody else approve this nomination per WP:IAR? --George Ho (talk) 02:11, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote4.png My bad, forgot it was 5 days and not 1 week. On the other hand, DYKs submitted on time that are a bit too small are many times given a second chance to expand.  Much appreciated if an IAR is granted; if it helps, it was already at 1438 readable prose size by its first day before I absent mindedly got back to it 7 ... not 5 days later.  Thanks for the consideration.—Bagumba (talk) 07:48, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg - this post at WT:DYK did not get any replies, but my opinion is that we can approve it per WP:IAR. Afterall, it was long enough when the review took place, and I don't think those two days are a big deal. Giving it a green tick per George Ho's review. Mentoz86 (talk) 19:21, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
