 * Symbol possible vote.svg Great work, but the guidelines require a fivefold expansion in the last five days except for completely unreferenced biographies of living people. Per DYK check, "readable prose" was 1900 characters prior to update, 4571 now.  - PKM (talk) 18:22, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think you've made a mistake. This is a new article, not an expansion.  See the comments above.  "Articles that have been worked on exclusively in a user or user talk subpage and then moved (or in some cases pasted) to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace."  It has been eligible for DYK since it was created and nominated within the five day period and does not require fivefold expansion as it has already met and exceeded the 1500 character length requirement since it was moved to main space within the five day period.

 * Viriditas is right. The article was moved to mainspace with this edit on 1 February (aka three days before nomination). By DYK Rule 1d), which reads "Articles that have been worked on exclusively in a user or user talk subpage and then moved (or in some cases pasted) to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace.", this qualifies as a new article.

 * My apologies. I have never seen an article moved from user space with its prior history intact. Neat trick... as I said, it's a great article.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All checks out, really good article, sorry for my mistake. Looks like you just need to review something and this is good to go.PKM (talk) 04:50, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, if you use the move feature for an article that didn't exist it should keep the history. My most recent articles, like Belenggu and Moestopo, do. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:04, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course, now that I think about it. Silly me. - PKM (talk) 07:41, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
