I’m going to remove the section headers per MOS:NOLEDE. Otherwise, though the article is new enough, long enough, and the hook is long enough and is interesting. Thepharoah17 (talk) 19:57, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

@OpalYosutebito and Thepharoah17: between Special:Permalink/1328104215 and Special:Permalink/1370039694 is not a 5x expanision. Not even close. The article started at 521 of readable prose and after Thepharoah17's edit for NOLEAD it is 1672 characters of readable prose. The article needed to have been at least 2,605 characters of readable prose to have been a 5x expansion. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to reject this.

@TarnishedPath: I thought that 5x expansion was determined by word count, not byte count. Good to know! - OpalYosutebito 『talk』『articles I want to eat』 14:13, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

@OpalYosutebito: bytes or words. I can't tell you exactly what the conversion is now as I'm on my phone. The main thing is that it has to be readable prose. The expansion you did was closer to 3x. TarnishedPath^talk 14:39, 8 September 2026 (UTC)

I should have wrote characters above, not bytes. TarnishedPath^talk 15:13, 8 September 2026 (UTC)
