Vitamin deficiency

 * ... that 81 countries require food fortification of commonly consumed foods with one or more vitamins as a means of reducing prevalence of vitamin deficiencies, the most common being folic acid in 62 countries? Source: Ref #5Map: Count of Nutrients In Fortification Standards". Global Fortification Data Exchange.
 * ALT1 ... that 81 countries require food fortification of commonly consumed foods with one or more vitamins as a means of reducing prevalence of vitamin deficiencies, the most common being folic acid?
 * Reviewed: to date, I have reviewed seven (West African bichir, Nemobius sylvestris, Megachile chomskyi, Robin Ling, Harold Basil Christian, General George Washington Resigning His Commission, Oriental Basin pocket gopher). This is my seventh nomination. Both lists near top of my Talk
 * Comment: Parts of what I added were copied from existing articles and should not be counted as part of my expansion. Those parts: History, Food fortification. Also, I cut parts of the article before I expanded it, so not sure what the starting point is for my 5X expansion.
 * Comment: The reference is interactive. To get to the numbers in the DYK one has to deselect voluntary fortification, turn off all nutrients, then turn on all vitamins to get the 81, then turn off all but folic acid to get to 62. Really.

5x expanded by David notMD (talk). Self-nominated at 01:11, 9 February 2019 (UTC).


 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is a five-fold expansion and is sufficiently long even if you remove the bulletted points which the "page count" tool ignores. It is also nominated soon enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. I am giving it an AGF tick because I am trusting your maths. I have added ALT1 because I think the original hook has too many numbers. I accept that a QPQ has been done. Good work! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:38, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: I accept the proposed ALT1 as a better version. David notMD (talk) 13:58, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I have a question about the expansion. I see that most of the Food fortification is copied from another article. I'm not sure where the History section was copied from. According to Rule A5, if copied text is more than 7 days old, it must be expanded 5x in this new article. Please check if this article is 5x as long as the text you copied. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:48, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Food fortification content was copied from Food fortification article. History content was copied in from Vitamin article. Attribution acknowledged in the Edit summaries. For both, the copied text was more than 7 days old. Neither was expanded (in fact, shortened). My understanding was that the Vitamin deficiency expansion, not counting any of the content copied in, had to be 5X from what was there before. That much is true. If, additionally, text copied in also has to be expanded 5X, or if the entire article needs to by more than 5X what was copied in, then my submission does not qualify.

 * what the rule means is that you take the total count of characters that were copied from other articles and multiply by 5. The present article has to be at least that long. It looks like between the two articles, Vitamin and Food fortification, you have a lot of characters to account for. Another option for this DYK nomination would be to comment out one or more sections until after the DYK runs. Yoninah (talk) 01:03, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I would rather give up on the DYK than finagle with the article just to qualify. David notMD (talk) 03:16, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg OK. Marking for closure as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 13:49, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
