A fact from Sibongile Khumalo appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 February 2021 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Sibongile Khumalo, who sang both national anthems at the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final, said that it was "the one and only time I've ever watched a rugby match, at any level, of any kind"?

5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:00, 4 February 2021 (UTC).Reply
Note: Article is eligible has it has only been on recent deaths section of ITN (and so is eligible as per WP:DYKRULES rule 1d clarification on RD)
This doesn't look to have been quite 5x expanded. Excluding the discography section (as bulleted information doesn't count towards the character count), this version had 868 characters, and the current version has 4070 characters, which is short of the 4340 characters that are needed for 5x expansion. Bloom6132 would you be able to add 270 characters or more of text to the article? Joseph2302 (talk) 17:51, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
My mistake, the article has been 5x expanded (I was checking a few diffs out from the correct one). Let me do a full review then:
Y Article is long enough (4070 characters), has been 5x expanded, as per above discussion, and nominated in time (expansion started 28 January, nominated 2 February). Article is within policy
Y Hooks are short enough, interesting, in the article and well cited
Y Image is freely licenced (PD), used in the article, and looks decent at low resolution
Y QPQ done
Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:14, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
