QPQ: None required.

Overall: The article was not 5x expanded. It was 1534 prose characters pre-expansion and is currently at 3027 prose characters. This nomination could pass if the article is further expanded. Also, the source for ALT0 doesn't mention that this was the shortest Texas speaker term, just that his term was 7 days. There could be a second source added to provide all the information. Copyvio check fine. No QPQ required. ALT0 is more interesting in my opinion. Riley1012 (talk) 00:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would say that at nearly 5000 characters short and with no reasonable chance of expansion, this should not take up any more of our time. I suggest giving @Aneirinn: another couple of days to respond before closing this.--Launchballer 07:44, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
