5x expanded by Lullabying (talk). Self-nominated at 20:26, 23 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/D-Date; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • @Lullabying: This isn't turning up as a 5x expansion (1101 → 3471 characters). It'd need to be 5505 characters to qualify. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:21, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Thanks for letting me know. I'll add more info as I go. lullabying (talk) 21:31, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Can you check now? lullabying (talk) 22:54, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
      • Still no. I'm getting prose size 5309. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:33, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
        • Almost there! I can make the word count. lullabying (talk) 20:28, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
        • Asking for prose size now? lullabying (talk) 04:01, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
          • Seems to be ready for a full review (DYKcheck is giving a prose size of 6,820 characters; XTools says 6,821 characters). Epicgenius (talk) 00:03, 1 January 2024 (UTC)'
  • I'll give this a full review when the following issue is addressed, but I'm putting this out of the way now: I'm not exactly a fan of the hook. It seems a bit reliant on knowledge of the associated names/links. Can a different hook be proposed here? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:26, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
  • ALT1: "... that the Japanese boy band D-Date promoted a song through a short film where the audience had to guess who the traitor was?" Source: https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2012/01/20/kiji/K20120120002464400.html lullabying (talk) 20:13, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, that sounds a lot better. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:15, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
  • I was originally planning to review this, but I've been caught up in real-life matters and may not be able to return to this anytime soon, so I'm asking for a new review. The new hook is noted though, and per the comments above is the only one left for consideration. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Five-fold expansion met in the later edits, which went beyond the one week since expansion began but is allowable. Doesn't demonstrate major issues, though it was quite a slog to read, as the last two career subsections were mostly successive strings of excessive detail (not holding it against the DYK). I've tweaked the wording of Alt1 for grammar. It's within length and policy, and verified to the source via auto-translation. QPQ supplied. Good to go. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:27, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
