Novelist
[edit]
- ... that romance and thriller writer James Patterson (pictured) was the top earning novelist of 2010, making $70 million?
- Comment: I expanded from a redirect, and moved it from a draft into mainspace on the 11th.

Article hasn't been expanded 5x in the past 5 days. It was expanded over a period of months starting in December 2013. However, can it be considered a new page because it was only moved from user space into the main space on 11th Feb and replaced a redirect with an article? If that is acceptable, it is good to go: hook is of a good length and referenced; the article is more than long enough, well referenced, no problems; image is has no usage restrictions (ShareAlike) and is relevant.

- @Gaia Octavia Agrippa: Historically that is the case per the eligibility requirement # 1.d and #1.b. I merged the history of the original redirect, so as to maintain the history from Early Wikipedia, and the earlier version of the article was simply a list of novelists, that has since developed into List of novelists, Sadads (talk) 18:38, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
You are correct. DYK is good to go. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 19:10, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
