Created/expanded by Editor 2050 (talk). Self-nominated at 11:30, 19 September 2017 (UTC).

  • The article has not been expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article within the past 10 days.  FITINDIA  11:55, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Fitindia - Ah, I see. How about purely S. Sashikanth? Editor 2050 (talk) 12:03, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Editor 2050 I dont think you should have moved Template:Did you know nominations/Y NOT Studios to Template:Did you know nominations/S. Sashikanth as it could be a bit confusing, You could re-nominate S. Sashikanth.  FITINDIA  12:32, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Fitindia. Silly me - should have thought it through. I am now understandably unable to create a fresh DYK page for S. Sashikanth. How should I proceed? Editor 2050 (talk) 22:15, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
  • I have just fixed the template so it can serve as a nomination for S. Sashikanth alone. It won't be necessary to renominate S. Sashikanth, and actually wouldn't have been before; we could have handled it by simply removing Y NOT Studios from the official nomination while leaving the nomination page where it was—you can always ask for help at WT:DYK. Please don't ever move nomination templates in the future. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:26, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Usernameunique it was expanded but not close to 5x. I would like to recuse my self from this review, Please free to take it forward. Thank you.  FITINDIA  01:56, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Fitindia, what makes you say so? On the 13th it had 1833 characters (not counting the characters in the table per Rule 1c). At the time of your review it had 9627. That's good enough for a 5.25x expansion. I'm restoring the bold to the hook. Both articles now need to be reviewed. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:17, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm doing some copyediting on Sashikanth's article at the moment, but most of it checks out good by DYK standards. I will accept the DYK if Y NOT Studios is removed from it (hence its name cannot be in bold in the hook). ViperSnake151  Talk  03:30, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
  • ViperSnake151, what's the problem with Y NOT Studios in bold? Per discussion above, it was 5x expanded in time. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:44, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
Oh, DYKCheck said "Article has not been created or expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article within the past 10 days (984 days)" ViperSnake151  Talk  05:17, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Usernameunique, the Y NOT Studios article was 2197 prose characters for much of this year up through September 4. When an article is cut down shortly before its expansion, as this was on September 6, we have to count from its (prior) regular length. (Otherwise, people could cut an article to the bone and then a few days or weeks later expand from a much smaller size.) DYKcheck will go back a very long ways, so if an article had been longer years before, it will use that length rather than the recent length in its calculus. In this case, I think 2197 is the proper base number to use for the expansion, so 10985 would be the size it needs to be to qualify as 5x. So, given a current length of 9758, according to DYKcheck, a further expansion of 1227 prose characters would be needed for the second article to qualify as a 5x expansion.

  • That makes sense, thanks for the explanation. Editor 2050, if you would like Y NOT Studios to be featured as well, an extra 1227 characters (about the size of the last paragraph in "2016–present") would do it. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:42, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Usernameunique, ViperSnake151 - added a few more. Is it enough? How do I check the amount of characters? Editor 2050 (talk) 00:21, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Editor 2050, DYKcheck gives the current number of prose characters at 10587; another 398 are needed. Basically, the four long sentences you added were two-thirds of the increase needed. Another two sentences of similar length or a bit over should do it. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:59, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Y NOT Studios is now at 11137 prose characters, more than enough. I have added the article back into the headers and the DYKmake template, bolded it again in the original hook, and it is ready for a full review. Pinging ViperSnake151 to see if they wish to finish the review here. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:58, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Looking at Y NOT's article, the only issue I've noticed is the claim that Thamizh Padam was "Tamil cinema's first parody film". This statement is not supported by the The Hindu source given unless you can provide a specific quote. Everything else checks out just fine. ViperSnake151  Talk  19:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you - completed the changes accordingly. Editor 2050 (talk) 22:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but tagged two words that don't make sense in the first entry under Productions in Y NOT Studios. Yoninah (talk) 21:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Restoring tick per ViperSnake151's review. Yoninah (talk) 15:00, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
