 * Symbol question.svg This article was newly created on 22 March and nominated in good time. The image is appropriately licensed, the article is neutral and either of the hooks could be used. My doubt is about the length of the article; the first edit summary states "creating article by splitting material from Macedonia (ancient kingdom)", and from the point of view of DYK, the supplementary rule A5 states "If some of the text in a nominated article was copied from another Wikipedia article, and the copied text is more than seven days old, then the copied text must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a separate article." I'm not sure whether this article meets these requirements or not so I am going to ask whether it is eligible. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:26, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
 * No - less than 10% of the readable prose is novel. Given the length of the article, probably the only way to make it eligible would be through GA. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:07, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
