In the Bazaars of Hyderabad[edit]
- ... that the poem "In the Bazaars of Hyderabad" by Sarojini Naidu describes scenes of the bazaars (pictured) using vibrant senses, and in 1913 The New York Times wrote about the poem as a "shining oriental gem"?
Created/expanded by Omer123hussain (talk). Self nominated at 19:21, 23 December 2013 (UTC).
Article is currently at 3535 characters, which is short of the 3148x5 = 15740 that would be needed for a 5x expansion since the revision as of 8 Nov. Thingg⊕⊗ 00:09, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi @Thingg: thanks for your advice, I will expand the article and update here very soon today. Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 05:48, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
- @Thingg:; Expanded the article and hope it is quite large as of its topic. Any way i dont think it is should and must for an article to be 15740 characters to get nominated for DYK ? Regards :)--Omer123hussain (talk) 07:20, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
- Omer123hussain, for DYKs, the primary rule is that an article has to be new (5 days old) or expanded at least by five-fold. The article was created two years ago. To make use of the second chance, the prose has to be expanded by five folds. The size now stands at 7600 chars. It has to be at least 15000 chars as Thingg says. Unless you expand this article by two folds from now on, it becomes totally ineligible. Another chance by which you could bring back this article is when it passes GAN. —Vensatry (Ping me) 07:46, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this is still not a 5x expansion (not even half that much), so it is not eligible for DYK at the present time, and is being closed. If this article nominated for Good Article status and passes (see WP:GAN for what is needed), then it can be nominated here at DYK within five days of passage. Best of luck!
