List of World War II puppet states

 * ... that during World War II, Germany had a total of 14 puppet states at one point or another?

 * Symbol delete vote.svg No need for QPQ for this editor. Long enough (disregarding expansion) but not new enough, and the eligible prose has not been expanded 5x in the past 5 days. Only prose text is eligible for the DYK expansion check. Also, as I understand it, list-articles are not eligible for DYK. However, even if I'm wrong and list-articles are eligible, you have many citations and it is impossible to tell which ones confirm 14 German puppet states in WWII. Several external links are flagged as redirects but they work OK; one external link is dead (#64). I have not been able to check for disambig links as the check tool was unavailable to me at the time; I checked a lot of internal links manually and they were OK. The map image is free. I have given this a full check, but your main problem is that it's ineligible for DYK due to the prose content not being expanded 5x within the past 5 days. --Storye book (talk) 19:00, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Lists articles are fine for DYK. It's the characters within the list that cannot be counted for the minimum prose characters. The prose outside of the actual list (usually the lead) needs to meet the minimum requirement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maile66 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
