5x expanded by Mrbauer1234 (talk). Self nominated at 23:28, 19 November 2014 (UTC).


 * Struck hook because the article doesn't say s-a is effective, just that studies suggest it might me. There's a whiff of overenthusiasm to the article as well. EEng (talk) 13:19, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg The length, sources, and policy conformance checks out. Symbol delete vote.svg The number of times expanded does not (it was only 2x expanded; the WP:DYK says Former redirects, stubs, and other articles in which the prose portion has been expanded fivefold or more within the past seven days are also acceptable as "new" articles. ... Former unsourced BLPs (such as those in this category) that have been thoroughly sourced and in which the prose portion has been expanded twofold or more within the past seven days are also acceptable as "new" articles. (emphasis mine)). So I don't think this is DYK status. Epicgenius (talk) 20:34, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Too bad, because I'd have loved to see a review that said the article's ready for DYK because it's good enough, it's long enough, and doggone it, it has a cite for each paragraph. EEng (talk) 09:06, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
