Australian immigration detention facilities

The Northern Immigration Detention Facility at Defence Base Darwin in 2010.
The Northern Immigration Detention Facility at Defence Base Darwin in 2010.

Expanded by Illegitimate Barrister (talk). Self-nominated at 06:40, 3 December 2017 (UTC).

  • Symbol delete vote.svg Has not been expanded five-fold in the last week. Also has multiple citation needed tags and sources with bare URLs. SounderBruce 07:18, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Side note: Even assuming the problems mentioned above are addressed, the proposed hook doesn't pass the "interest" test. Every detention center of every kind is likened to a concentration camp by its critics. There's an entire article about the phenomenon. You (at minimum) need to mention some way in which the critics are supposedly correct in their Godwinning or find something else to use. (Have they been compared to concentration camps by their supporters? That would be interesting...) — LlywelynII 09:29, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Comment: there has, in fact, been no text expansion at all; the work done has only affected the references. (There were 6141 prose characters before and after the recent edits by Illegitimate Barrister; a 5x expansion would require 30705 prose characters, or an addition of 24564.) At this point, the article's only chance to appear at DYK would be right after the article was listed as a Good Article, and that would require significantly more work than was mentioned by SounderBruce (see the GA criteria for the quality level expected).
