5x expanded by Velella (talk). Self-nominated at 23:08, 22 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Neither aluminium dross recycling nor dangerous goods are eligible for DYK, as neither have been recently created, expanded or promoted to GA. The title of the page leads me to assume you meant to nominate chemical safety. That article has been recently expanded from 416 to 1617 words (3.89x) which doesn't quite meet the 5x expansion criteria. I recommend either completing the 5x expansion within the next 2 days to meet that criteria, or nominating the article for GA (with no time limit) and renominating it for DYK after it is promoted to GA. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:53, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Velella, unfortunately the rule for DYK is Fivefold expansion is calculated from the previously existing article, no matter how bad it was (copyvios are an exception), no matter whether you kept any of it and no matter if it were up for deletion. The article started at 2726 prose characters prior to your expansion work, and needed to achieve 13630 prose characters; it is currently at 10710 prose characters, so another 2920 prose characters are needed. Do you think it will be possible to add that much in the next seven days or so? Please let us know. Thanks, and best of luck. Please note: your hook needs to be about the actual article, in this case Chemical safety, and include a bold link to that article. I have struck the prior hooks, which should not have a space before the closing question mark. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:07, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator has been unable to respond to comments and has not edited the article in over 10 days. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:52, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
