  • Looks great. QPQ done, sourcing good, no copyvios, no image issues. Length is good for both article and hook. New enough. Hook is interesting, but I did tweak the sentence it comes from. Good to go! ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:04, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Na O-mi

(
)
  • ... that South Korean actress Na O-mi's stage name was inspired by "I Dream of Naomi" by the Israeli duo Hedva and David?
  • ALT1: ... that South Korean actress Na O-mi was cast by Shin Seong-il after placing second at a pageant that he judged? Source: http://www.cine21.com/news/view/?mag_id=22004
  • Reviewed:
  • Comment: The citation for the first hook doesn't actually mention the name "Hedva and David", but it does say "the name Naomi comes from the hit song 'Naomi in a Dream,' sung by an Israeli mixed duet at the time." (Of course, I'm translating this from Korean, so the title won't match up 100%, but 꿈속의 나오미 is what the song was titled in Korea) Also I could cut the "South" in South Korean if it's obvious enough she's not from the North.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Korean-language sources were checked for close paraphrasing; no issues arose. I strongly prefer the original hook over ALT1. I do not think that the lack of an explicit mention of the Israeli duo's name in the original Korean source is a significant problem. If the promoter does deem it so, however, the hook could be reworded like so:

"... that South Korean actress Na O-mi's stage name was inspired by the song 'I Dream of Naomi'?"

I also added "the song" and "singing duo" to the original hook for clarity's sake.

"... that South Korean actress Na O-mi's stage name was inspired by the song "I Dream of Naomi" by Israeli singing duo Hedva and David?"

I hope this nomination succeeds. Yue🌙 21:50, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1940 NFL All-Star Game (January)

« Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 21:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC).[reply]

  • As a Lions fan, am I allowed to just reject this outright? (kidding) Article is new enough, long enough, and well sourced. Earwig appears to be down, but a spot check of sources showed no issues. QPQ done. Hook is interesting, but I worry that in going for "hookiness" it might go too far towards being misleading. The Packers were one of the teams in the game, but is that the same as the players being "selected" for the game, as those for the actual all-star team were? What about wording it something closer to
ALT1: ... that the entire Green Bay Packers team was chosen to play in the 1940 NFL All-Star Game?
@
Gonzo fan2007: What do you think of this? It's still "hooky" while hewing a little closer to fact, in my opinion. But despite my joke earlier, I'm not deliberately trying to be difficult and am open to other suggestions. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 23:27, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply
]
DrOrinScrivello, that actually was going to be my original hook, but then I questioned whether "played" was factually correct. There aren't a lot of great sources for an 84 year old game, and I can't be certain that every player actually "played" (there were at least 2 injuries for Packers players noted before the game). "Select" is kind of the word used by the NFL for being chosen to the Pro Bowl and is consistent with List of Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl selections. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:33, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All that to say I don't really mind either ALT if you think ALT1 is fine. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk) @ 23:36, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that "select" is what you usually expect to see in most Pro Bowl situations, but it seems to me that on this particular occasion the players themselves weren't "selected" per se. Maybe a way to get around the "play" issue would be to say,
ALT1b: ... that the entire Green Bay Packers team was chosen to compete in the 1940 NFL All-Star Game?
I think this is mostly hair splitting, though, and would not argue if the promoter choses any of the three options. Assuming my suggestions didn't alter the original enough for this to be considered approving my own hook (in which case I'm fine with another reviewer being requested), I think this is good to go.

    • This is indeed a very interesting article and the hook is also interesting. The source is notable and I don't see any issue in the article. The main issue is the hook itself. The hook is telling us that people built a shrine after the statue was stolen. But what the source given for it says is slightly different. The news article says "On Reddit, Wellingtonians mourned Cub St’s missing bird by laying flowers and candles at its former perch". It is not even a shrine. The reporter didn’t call it a shrine, the reddit post calls it a shrine and we shouldn’t take the reddit as the reliable source. So @Panamitsu: you need to edit the hook a little bit. Or you can propose alternative hook. Or search for sources directly mentioned it as a shrine. Then ping me and I continue my review. Mehedi Abedin (talk) 13:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      @Mehedi Abedin: The source shows a Reddit post saying "Someone's set up a shrine for the missing pigeon". I've also looked up shrine in the Oxford dictionary, which says "a place associated with or containing memorabilia of a particular revered person or thing", so I personally think that it is fine to call it a shrine even if the source doesn't (directly) say it. What do you think? ―Panamitsu (talk) 01:43, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • No copyvio or close paraphrasing noted. There are a couple of phrases which cannot really be reworded without losing their meaning.
    • Hooks: both are fully verified. ALT1 is better; I wonder if it might be worth including a reference to the building's use in A Clockwork Orange to grab attention. Something like: ...that Brunel University's "imposing" and "frightening" lecture centre (pictured) featured in A Clockwork Orange? (another editor would need to sign off that hook).

    • New enough and long enough. QPQ present. This is a unique contribution to DYK as it is three paragraphs and a list; even though one paragraph does not end in an inline citation, I am treating it as a lead-section paragraph. All the list bullet points contain at least one inline citation. The hook fact checks out and is included. Image is OGL-licensed and acceptable for the Main Page. Good to go after 4 July per above.

    • Approving ALT0 and ALT1. Article is long enough and expanded same day as DYK nomination. Article is well-sourced, copyvio-free, and presentable. Hooks are all interesting and sourced; I prefer the first two ALTs because ALT 2 requires prior knowledge of who George Orwell was, and because it just isn't as aesthetically pleasing due to the brackets. QPQ done. Image meets criteria. Overall, great nomination, thank you ThaesOfereode. Kimikel (talk) 20:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Generalissima: Article looks good, QPQ is done, etc. When I first saw the hook I wasn't sure if "second most played" referred to a concurrent count, or of a number of purchases in the past month or all time. I think it might be better to add something to the effect of "concurrent". You passed me in DYKs :(. ―Panamitsu (talk) 03:17, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I do have some major doubts about this "game"'s notability. Mainly, I think it fails
      WP:SUSTAINED, as it appears to be a flash-in-the-pan phenomenon that quickly drops off the radar and there is nothing to really talk about with regards to its content. I am not sure if DYK articles are required to pass notability criteria (the guidelines simply say "reliably sourced") but it risks coming off as advertising if a non-notable gimmick reaches the main page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:38, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply
      ]
      • @Zxcvbnm: I feel the article pretty plainly meets GNG. It's covered in-depth in a wide variety of reliable sources for a month now, including Forbes. Even "gimmicks" are notable if they get significant, reliable coverage. (And no, notability is not a DYK thing. If it gets AFD'ed thats another issue.) Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:49, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • The only sources in the article are from a 2-week timespan from the beginning of June to a few days ago. That, to me and likely most other editors is not a sustained span of time in which the "game" is discussed. That goes into the realm of Wikipedia as
          crystal ball. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:59, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

        • @Zxcvbnm: But lots of games have articles relatively soon after release. How can we say *any* game will or won't have coverage? Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
          • Usually games have some degree of pre-release announcements and whatnot even before it comes out, with release day only cementing its notability. I'd say literally any game article that is created shortly after a game is announced is frowned upon for being
            WP:TOOSOON. I'm not saying it should be deleted now, but it does risk being deleted at a later date if its popularity fails to last. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

    • New article, well written and high quality (likely suitable for a GA nomination). No copyvio issues found. Hook is interesting, cited in the article, and of appropriate length. My one concern is the licensing of the image. Without the photographer's identity and thus death date, and without proof that it was first published prior to 1929, the claimed license is not valid. PD-old-assumed would be valid given that the image is >120 years old, but an appropriate US copyright tag would still be needed. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:10, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fireze by Darlington (detail)
    • Thank you for your comment. Here is the image that you requested as a second option.
    • Note: I always do my best to cooperate on DYK templates, whether as reviewer, creator or nominator. However I also claim the right to an opinion. In this case, you will see that I am doing my best to cooperate. However, in the (nearly) 20 years that I have been a WP contributor, I have never seen a 120-year-old UK photo refused at DYK on those grounds. This image was a carte de visite, as were most photographs in the UK in 1897. They were purchased in batches and used as visiting cards, and were left at the addresses of acquaintances and businesses in the way that we leave our contact details today. Unlike our contact details today, cartes de visite were expected to be shared around by those who received them, because privacy was not an issue in the way that it is today, and cartes de visite were used as a form of advertisement. If that is not a form of publication, I don't know what is. Storye book (talk) 09:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Storye book: If it's a carte de visite, then I would consider it to have been published. I do think the fireze might be more interesting as a DYK image, since there are a lot of portraits there, but either image is just fine. Great work! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: Right, so this has just been on the main page as a minor link and got attention by 12 editors during the 24 hours on DYK (which is quite a bit for a New Zealand topic). The major expansion during that period was by HotMess. I've done some more expansion since and it's gone from 753 bytes of readable prose (prior to 17 June when expansion started) to 4753 bytes; more than the required 5x expansion.

    And whilst we do have a mugshot for the subject, it's of poor quality and thus not worth including in this nomination.
