5x expanded by SBaker43 (talk). Self nominated at 02:04, 19 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Not a fivefold and still under required minimum. Moreover, the previous revision was 433 prose bytes, and the current revision is 1,183 bytes. George Ho (talk) 11:41, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
  • SBaker43, you still have plenty of time to expand this article in fivefold, right? I should use this nomination for other uses of QPQ. --George Ho (talk) 21:39, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
  • I'm not optimistic that I have access to enough sources to achieve the necessary size. I'm convinced there's plenty of material in Detroit sources; which aren't available to me. Anyone else is welcome to pursue improvements. Thanks for your review.

  • For clarity: because the article was created on December 2 with 433 prose characters, a 5x expansion from that base will require 2165 prose characters to qualify for DYK, or an additional 982 beyond what it currently has. SBaker43, if you don't think you're likely to sufficiently expand the article in the reasonably near future, please let us know and we'll close the nomination, since no one else seems ready to take it on. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:03, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
