5x expanded by Zmbro (talk). Self-nominated at 16:36, 25 January 2022 (UTC).
I like the hook, and the article is a great read. Unfortunately, the expansion of the prose falls well below the fivefold threshold. The last revision before the nominator's expansion had 2,335 characters of prose according to DYKcheck; the article currently stands at 7,334 characters, or 3.141-fold expansion. If the article can either a.) be expanded further to meet 5x, or b.) pass its current GAN, and also if a QPQ can be provided, then I would gladly revisit this and move ahead with a full review. --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 22:55, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
As soon as zim gets to my review, it will be an easy GA pass, so I wouldn't be too concerned. Cheers. Tkbrett (✉) 23:26, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Indeed, now that this article has passed GAN, the only requirement left unfulfilled is the QPQ. --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 22:57, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Dylan620 Pardon me but what is that exactly? I'm still not that familiar with DYK... – zmbro(talk) (cont) 13:48, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
Zmbro, it's "quid pro quo", the requirement that submitters review a submission for every one of theirs. Though if you're very new that won't be needed, it only applies after your first 5 submissions. Rusalkii (talk) 01:48, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Zim, we're good to go now! --Dylan620 (he/him · talk · edits) 01:34, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
Dylan620, the DYK review and the GAN review are separate things: while passing the GAN while this nomination was active means it automatically qualifies as new enough (and at 7334 prose characters it's long enough), you must yourself do the "within policy" checks noted above this edit window (neutrality, sourcing, copyvio/close paraphrase, etc.), and specify what you checked and the result. We've had nominations fail at DYK despite a GA pass (and the GA typically gets reassessed at that point, sometimes with a delisting to follow). Thanks for doing the necessary full check.

@BlueMoonset: My review of the article did indeed assess it to have met the DYK criteria independently of the GA review; I realize now that I should have referred to the criteria explicitly. So, for the sake of completion:
