3 Bahadur
edit- ... that 3 Bahadur is the first Pakistani computer-animated feature film directed by an Oscar awarded Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy?
Created by Umais Bin Sajjad (talk). Self-nominated at 13:40, 17 April 2015 (UTC).
Article was created in December 2014. No recent major expansion and therefore not eligible for DYK. -Zanhe (talk) 17:18, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- I don't get this rule. Why an article needs to be expanded/created "recently" to meet DYK criteria. Instead the reviewer should look at the importance of DYK article and the tagline. UBStalk 05:57, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- I'm with you. The preoccupation with "new content" is utterly stupid -- just an arbitrary way to choose what goes on the main page without having to actually judge which articles/hooks are actually things people would want to see. EEng (talk) 12:24, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, let's get rid of that "utterly stupid" rule and make any article eligible for DYK, if you're ready to review a few hundred or thousand nominations a day. Feel free to propose the rule change on DYK talk. I'm not a stickler to rules and usually give new nominators a lot of leeway, but this nomination is about 5 months too late. -Zanhe (talk) 00:22, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
- My proposal would be to substitute straight voting on hooks -- a simple popularity contest -- for the dumb 7 day rule. The hooks/articles could be of any age, but only those getting the top # of votes would pass to the next stage to be reviewed. This would, in fact, reduce the amount of reviewing, and the hooks/articles would be more interesting than they are now. EEng (talk) 00:48, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

- Please see WP:DYK#Eligibility criteria: an article must be created, expanded 5x, or have become a Good Article within the past seven days to be eligible for DYK. -Zanhe (talk) 07:51, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
