 * Symbol delete vote.svg: Sorry, but the article is not new enough nor it is expanded 5x within the legal time. Mhhossein (talk) 06:44, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Mhhossein, you should have left a message for Misokkkim letting them know about this, in case they wanted to address the issue with the nomination. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 01:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The Squirrel Conspiracy: Thanks for doing that. Mhhossein (talk) 04:18, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Requesting re-review due to issues discussed at Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know. Ping Mhhossein, User:BlueMoonset (disclaimer: I am the instructor for the course this student wrote this article for). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:53, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Piotr:I thought you are referring to a consensus! Mhhossein (talk) 09:56, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Huh? I think we pretty much have a consensus not to close newbie's nominations for missing the 5-7 days deadline. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:58, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I doubt that the alleged consensus (which I don't find) agrees with nominating after 23 days. It's too late, isn't it? Mhhossein (talk) 06:54, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Why don't you want to be nice to a new editor? WP:BITE, WP:IAR etc., seems to me a much better attitude that sticking with the rules. Remember what is the spirit of this project. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:03, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I would not call that biting. I was reminding some points to others! Anyway, I'm not the one who makes the final decision so you should not be concerned if there's a consensus over ignoring such rules for newbies. Mhhossein (talk) 07:10, 3 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article was late in its nomination, but given that the user is brand new to wikipedia I think WP:IAR, WP:BITE, and the opinions in favor of this action by multiple editors support overlooking this one problem just this one time. Otherwise, this is a well written article that is properly sourced with inline citations throughout the article. The hook is verifiable to online ref. The image is usable. No copyright or close paraphrasing issues found. This article can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 02:11, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
