When this article passed its GAN in 2013, it was over 11,000 words. Now, it is almost 16,000, almost double the recommended size at WP:AS and WP:TOOBIG that an article would be considered for WP:SPINOUT. I think this article needs an overhaul and unnecessary detail moved out of the article to fulfil WP:GA? 3b. Z1720 (talk) 15:42, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

• Do you see any other issues with the article apart from total word count? Zalaraz (talk) 04:21, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

• @Zalaraz: Not at the moment, but if the size concerns are resolved I will take a thorough look to check for content concerns (such as missing information or confusing prose). Z1720 (talk) 04:24, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

• Is there a way to know the word count? Thepharoah17 (talk) 20:31, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

User:Thepharoah17: 15,489 as of May 25. Bgsu98 (Talk) 18:34, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

After looking at the article on the Bulgarian wiki bg:Муамар Кадафи which is a featured article, I created the article Early life and career of Muammar Gaddafi and shortened the corresponding section on the Muammar Gaddafi article. Thepharoah17 (talk) 22:20, 5 June 2026 (UTC)
