The DYK checker says that the article has 72 words, not characters, in it. Also, the DYK checker would be unreliable for this, because it doesn't seem to count the information in lists. — Waterfox ^~talk~ 22:49, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per Rule #1, article text excludes "wiki markup, templates, lists, tables, and references" (emphasis mine). Still too short. Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:01, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
