 * On it. Symbol delete vote.svg Article has not been expanded 5× in the last ten days. Fwiw, the listed source has nothing to do with ALT0 in the article; ALT0 seems ungrounded since she didn't "overcome" anything to accomplish anything: the duchy of Bari seems to have been handed to her; and ALT1 is not remotely a hook. Pretty sure you already knew that, though. Thank you for your work on the article, but was there some extenuating circumstance you forgot to mention? or some better sourced and formatted hook you forgot to include?  In other news, the Ibids need to be cleaned out at some point. Just format the citations properly using the name= parameter. (For example, for the first one and  for the second, 3d, &c.) —  Llywelyn II   16:13, 30 December 2017 (UTC)


 * , it's worth taking a look at Rule D9 with regards to timing. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:50, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * A) There is a backlog, so that doesn't help you much. B) That speaks to permissiveness within reasonable spans of time, not weeks upon weeks after the 5× occurred. I don't mind supporting your improvements to the article, but it doesn't sound like you have a good reason here so I'll defer to the admins like . Same issue here, so I guess we should remove that "backlog" banner or close both of the nominations together. C) There's still a host of other outstanding issues noted above assuming they do want it to go forward. —  Llywelyn II   08:26, 31 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg It looks like there's a consensus of editors that the backlog + the upcoming WikiCup means taking a firmer stance on cutoff rules. If one of the admins comes by and feels differently, ping me and let me know. — Llywelyn II   11:59, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
