  • Comment: I do not know if this counts as a new article or not as it was a draft that has recently been accepted.

Created by Kaleeb18 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:34, 20 June 2022 (UTC).

• Unfortunately, this article is not new enough to be eligible for DYK: it was moved from draft form to the mainspace on June 11, but only nominated for DYK on June 20 (past the seven-day limit). The article has not been expanded fivefold or promoted to GA status during this time period, either, so can't qualify under those alternative routes. I think it's not far off from being GA-worthy -- if the nominator wishes to do so in future, they could put "Black Krrsantan" through the GA review process and then afterwards re-nominate for DYK.

• Alanna the Brave, I'd like to point out WP:DYKSG#D9: The "seven days old" limit can be extended for a day or two upon request. In this case, I don't see why Kaleeb18 should be refused such a request for two days, which I think is implied by their initial Comment above. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:45, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: I was under the impression that extending the deadline is discouraged when there is a large existing backlog of DYK nominations, but if you think I should, I can overlook that and do a full review. I note that Kaleeb18 has at least one other DYK nomination awaiting review (which is new enough to pass eligibility criteria). Alanna the Brave (talk) 11:04, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Well, okay then -- as per BlueMoonset's strong support for such (and for the sake of keeping things moving), I'll overlook the 7-day criteria for this nomination. It complies with other criteria (comments below), and I have only one small text edit request.

• Article is long enough and otherwise eligible (has not previously appeared on Main Page).
• Article is supported by inline citations and list of references. Hook content is cited.
• No dispute templates on article.
• I ran Earwig to check for copy-vio issues: One source comes up with a 94% similarity,[3] but it seems pretty clear it's a mirror Wiki site that has copied the Wikipedia article (not the other way around). I checked other sources flagged with lower similarities, and I'm satisfied there are no copy-vio issues there -- it's just flagging names of TV episodes and longer pieces of text that are clearly marked as direct quotations in the Wikipedia article.
• Article leans very positive about Black Krrsantan, but that seems reflective of general opinion and critics. Neutral enough.
• Nominator has less than five DYK credits (this one would make #4), so no QPQ required.
• Hook is short enough and properly formatted. Seems interesting and appropriately "hooky." --> For clarity's sake, however, I think it would be worth referring to Eric Francisco as "reviewer Eric Francisco" for the benefit of anyone who doesn't know who he is. Once this edit is made, I think the nomination will be ready to move forward. Alanna the Brave (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

The nominator has made the text adjustment, and I'm now satisfied that this hook is ready to go. Alanna the Brave (talk) 15:52, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

@Alanna the Brave and Kaleeb18: Typically, DYK doesn't include the names of people unless they are notable enough to have an article. Suggesting some ALTs below:

• ALT0a: ... that a reviewer called Black Krrsantan one of the scariest Star Wars characters?
• ALT0b: ... that a reviewer called Black Krrsantan one of "the scariest characters in Star Wars history"?

Thoughts? Z1720 (talk) 15:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

@Z1720: Makes sense to me -- thanks for the suggested replacements. Personally, I like ALT0b (full quote seems more impactful). Alanna the Brave (talk) 15:50, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Z1720 I agree with ALT0b as well. ― Kaleeb18^Talk_Caleb 16:56, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Re-adding tick per original review and above. ALT0b preferred. Z1720 (talk) 16:58, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Came across this nomination while reading Template:Did you know nominations/Garsa Fwip; is this (Krrsantan) their sixth DYK nomination? Per a recent rule change, the QPQ requirement was changed so that it is a nominator's nominations rather than their credits that count towards the QPQ requirement. As such, if this is was their sixth nomination, they need to provide a QPQ for this one. If this is their fifth, no QPQ is needed. @Kaleeb18: Can you please clarify if this is indeed your sixth nomination? Courtesy ping @Sammi Brie, Alanna the Brave, and Z1720:.

@Narutolovehinata5: These two nominations came in 12 minutes apart. Since this one (#6) was approved, I withheld approval on #5 until QPQ was supplied. (Note: nominator is away at a church camp for the next several days.) I would normally donate a QPQ (especially with how many I'm doing right now), but it's really important to get that first review under their belt. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:08, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough. Restoring tick per the above review. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:56, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
