 * Symbol delete vote.svg It seems that this article was not expanded fivefold within the last five days. I see you commented that it was moved from a sandbox, but looking at the history of different versions, the article is still not expanded fivefold - so if I'm misunderstanding something, clarify that please.  smithers  - talk  05:43, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi. The article was worked on in a sandbox and then transferred into the article mainspace on 29 January 2014, so it is regarded as a brand-new article and not a fivefold-expansion of an old one. All editing that occurred prior to that date should not be considered for determining the "newness" of the article. See "Did you know", paragraph 1(d): "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." Hope this answers your question. — SMUconlaw (talk) 09:03, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks for clearing that up. By how you worded it, it seems that this would qualify then, since the of the article is obviously a nonissue, and the hook is interesting and brief enough. The source is one from a book but I'm going to assume, since it is a publication of the Singaporean government, it backs up the hook. Sorry for my misunderstanding earlier, this one looks okay to me.  smithers  - talk  20:50, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
