Not a 5x expansion

Lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary

 * ... that the boundary between the Earth's tectonic plates and the underlying asthenosphere has been defined mechanically, thermally, rheologically, and by composition?

5x expanded by Arblanchette (talk). Self-nominated at 16:01, 19 March 2019 (UTC).


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Arblanchette, this appears to be an excellent article, but it unfortunately is not a 5x expansion. The article prior to your revisions was 4022 prose characters. The current edit has 6650 prose characters, which is about 1.65x. With DYK, we count what was in the article before, even if sections of the original prose are ultimately deleted: only material that was deleted because it violated copyright is not included in the "before" count. You would need to add another 13,460 prose characters to reach 5x, which seems extremely impractical.
 * If you wish this to qualify for DYK, your best chance is for the article to become a Good Article; it would need to be meet the GA criteria and be submitted for a GA review (instructions at WP:GANI. (It may be a while: articles can wait for months before they are reviewed.)
 * I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. I hope you'll try DYK again in the future. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:13, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
