 * This is a BLP which was expanded 2X within the proper time frame to qualify for DYK. The article is long enough; hook cite is correct and all other cites are good too. Symbol confirmed.svg I hope we'll see more added to this musician's article in future. We hope (talk) 19:56, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg I'm sorry to rain on the parade, but this article is ineligible as it currently stands. The DYK criteria require that a BLP be unsourced to qualify for the 2x expansion criterion, which this article was not.  Also, it was not expanded 2x: the character count for this version was approximately 1205 characters, while the current revision is only 1946 characters.  This is unfortunate, since the hook is quite fascinating.  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 15:12, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * G S Palmer, We hope, please note my comment in the nom. This wasn't nominated as a BLP 2X, but as a new article.  It was in my userspace until this weekend, see this dif to confirm: .  The Interior  (Talk) 15:26, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Ah, yes, sorry. It qualifies as a "moved from userspace" article.  Restoring tic based on 's review.  (In the future, instead of filling in the   parameter in NewDYKnomination as "new", fill it in as "mainspace" to avoid confusion).  G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 15:36, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the tip, G S, will do in the future. The Interior  (Talk) 15:46, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the mess-up re: how this qualifies, but glad that all's well. We hope (talk) 17:05, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
