Withdrawn

Converted from a redirect by Feminist (talk) and Voello (talk). Nominated by Feminist (talk) at 16:49, 14 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

  • Yes, it became a redirect on December 17, 2021, but it was an article before that and that formed the basis for the current version. IMO, this can only qualify if it becomes a five-fold expansion of the August 7, 2021, version (i.e. 707 characters x 5 = 3535; currently at 1808 characters). The other big issue I have is that a meal deal is not just a British concept; it is also a well known meal promotion in US and Canada (and who knows what other countries). In other words, the article needs to be globalized. The good thing is that that could form the basis for the needed 5x expansion. -- P 1 9 9   17:20, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • New reviewer, please. I don't see anything on WP:DYK which suggests IMO, this can only qualify if it becomes a five-fold expansion of the August 7, 2021, version. The content of the pre-WP:BLAR version is not text spun off from a pre-existing article under WP:DYKCRIT because none of the text appeared on any live article as of 7 October 2022, when I converted this from a redirect to an article. Regarding meal deals in the US and Canada, if one can point me to WP:RS focused on the same concept as it pertains to these two countries, I am happy to add these into the article. feminist (talk) 17:36, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
