- While the hook length is proper, the article is new enough, long enough and well-referenced, it fails the two-fold/five-fold expansion criteria. In fact, the article just started off hugely and saw little expansion since then. According to me, this one is a fail. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 14:07, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it is perfectly new; you didn't see my reason. I stated that the article has not undergone a two-fold/five-fold expansion. The article size must be expanded by at least 2 times in case of a biography from its original size; that is not satisfied here. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:09, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- I saw your reason, but I thought that you might have misinterpreted policy. The 2x/5x expansion rule is only for articles that are not new. New articles do not have to meet that criteria. From WP:WIADYK: DYK is only for articles that, within the past five days, have been either created, expanded at least fivefold, or newly sourced and expanded at least twofold (only if the article was an unsourced BLP).

- Ah yes, pardon me :D. I'm new to reviewing, actually. Yes, I have clarified with another DYK reviewer and your article is eligible.
Sources are Books, which is fine. Both points are sourced properly. Article is new enough, long enough and well-referenced. Yes, good to go! ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 17:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
