  • I was going to give this a full review, but a quick shows the article was not recently created (it was created way back in 2007), and DYKcheck is not detecting it as a 5x expansion (instead, it claims expansion began in 2018). Please confirm if the article is indeed a 5x expansion. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:37, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
  • this version before expansion was 620 characters. Current version is 3101 characters. Expansion started on 11/23. My final edit on 11/30 brought that version to 3111 characters. The final version on 11/30 was 3101 characters.-

Okay. I'll just have to confirm with Nikkimaria that an expansion was indeed done, but otherwise, we should be good to go once confirmation has been given; for what it's worth, my preference is ALT2a as it combines both interesting things about him but isn't overly complicated or long. I however had taken the liberty of delinking "continent" as I feel it's unnecessary in this case. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:53, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
Barely, but yes. Possibly the tool is being confused by the deleted diffs? Nikkimaria (talk) 23:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
In any case, this should be good to go. The source is in Dutch but Google Translate checks out. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
I just realized I forgot to include a full review above, so just to make it clear: the article was not newly-created but it is a 5x expansion, the hooks are all cited inline in verified, but ALT2a is IMO the best option. I didn't find any close paraphrasing and a QPQ has been done. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:09, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
