 * Symbol possible vote.svg I am sorry to do this but this was not expanded five-fold. Since it was sourced prior to expansion the rule is 5x expansion. In December 2016 it had 3761 B of readable prose - now it has 8682 B, which is far from the 18,500-ish bytes needed, it's not even half way to the criteria for DYK. If it was closer to the mark I'd put it on hold and ask for more, but it needs to be more than doubled in size to qualify. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.  MPJ  -DK  16:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
