DYKcheck tool reports "Article has not been expanded 5x since it was created". (Article history shows 2,074 bytes when imported from German Wikipedia, is now 9,086 bytes. Just a little short.) Length is good, creation date is good. Citations are good. Hook facts neutral and verified by reference. Hook formatted correctly. Article just needs expansion to clear DYKcheck tool.

 * Why would a brand new article have to be expanded 5 times? Bizarre. I nominated it on the 5th day of creation as a new article.
 * I think the length is ok now, but if not, just let me know and I'll continue to work on it. Thanks. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:36, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done what I could. If a recheck doesn't indicate it's long enough, perhaps Dr. B or Gerda have access to additional resources. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:50, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I have it Watchlisted and I've been monitoring all morning in hopes that the article would cross the threshold. It must be close - the raw size has gone from 2,974 to 12,914 bytes (although that includes all of the references and mark-up). Belchfire (talk) 19:01, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

All issues cleared, article is good to go. Belchfire (talk) 16:59, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
