 * Symbol possible vote.svg You're claiming this is a biography of a living person, yet the hook is about her funeral? Even if she were still alive, this wouldn't fall into 2x BLP expansion; that only applies to unsourced BLPs, and her article had 14 sources beforehand. Only way to make this to work is to expand it 5x (or GA, but that would take much longer). If you want to try that you need to expand it from about 3186 characters to about 15,930, and you're at about 7,459 now. Otherwise I'll mark for closure. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:03, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg No response, so marking for closure. If you decide you want to significantly expand it, you're welcome to indicate that before the nomination closes. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:33, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * The article has already seen massive expansion since 10 August, now it's upto you guys whether to post it or not. - User:Mfarazbaig
