Insufficient expansion, no progress is addressing issue after 2 weeks

Zaki al-Arsuzi

• ... that Zaki al-Arsuzi (pictured) has been considered the principle founder of ba'athism by the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party, while Michel Aflaq is considered the principle founder of ba'athism by the Iraqi-led Ba'ath Party, since the 1966 Ba'ath Party split?

• The article's too short and the hook's too long. The article has only been 4× expanded, from 4588 prose characters to 18437. Another 4503 would be required for the necessary 5× expansion. And the hook is 241 characters, way over the limit of 200. Note: I tend to only read articles about art or science, so if this does get sufficiently expanded, someone else should do the review.

• The hook can probably be salvaged with something like ALT1 ... that Zaki al-Arsuzi (pictured) has been considered the principle founder of ba'athism by the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party, but not by the Iraqi-led Ba'ath Party?

But that still would not address the issue with the article length. Rlendog (talk) 18:15, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I am working on the issue. --TIAYN (talk) 10:58, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry. It's been ten days since I notified the author of the problem, and seven and a half days since his "working on the issue" comment. There has been some work on the article, but the prose size has actually shrunk a bit, to 18373 characters. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 00:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Just wait another week; i'm gathering sources - If I havn't started expanding the article by the next week, you can remove this nom from DYK okay? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trust Is All You Need (talk • contribs) 10:25, 2011 December 29 (UTC)
