Referencing WP:PSTS, Wikipedia articles should rely on secondary sources, and to a lesser extent (emphasis mine) on tertiary sources, with some relaxation wrt tertiary sources on broad topics as mentioned at that page. I am unable to locate in the DYK description pages information about whether expansion is met when an article relies heavily on a tertiary source (Encyclopedia Britannica, which is the main source for this article). Perhaps someone can clarify if expansion is met when an article is mainly sourced to a tertiary source. Sandy Georgia (Talk) 05:02, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The reason why you're "unable to locate in the DYK description pages information" rules about tertiary sources and "whether expansion is met" by articles based on them is because there are no such rules. Under the DYK main and supplementary rules, the only requirements are multiple (D12) and reliable (rule #3 and D4) sources.  Nowhere in either set of rules are articles expanded through tertiary sources excluded from 5× DYK.  Please stop inventing rules that don't exist on WP! —Bloom6132 (talk) 06:29, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
