QPQ: - Not done
Overall: Just went in and spaced out the paragraphs a bit, but nothing much. That citation needed tag on "Edition #17" needs a looking-at, though. In terms of the hook, maybe italicize "Hot Dog Bean" seeing it's a painting and it's italicized in the article? Otherwise, just need you to do the QPQ.

@AdoTang: A QPQ has been provided. Are there other concerns for this nomination? Z1720 (talk) 02:09, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I think we're good now. AdoTang (talk) 02:21, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
TonyTheTiger, AdoTang, has the article been checked for WP:Copying within Wikipedia of greater than 20 percent of the article content? I ask because a similar DYK nomination was incorrectly accepted while being ineligible due to being a split without 5x expansion. (t · c) buidhe 05:41, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
User:buidhe, This does not have 1500k of new content. I don't expect to find it enough new content to get over that threshhold.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:10, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- However, as I note at User_talk:Ykraps, in terms of new content to WP, most of this content is new to WP and was part of a three article update. I may have placed similar content elsewhere as I created/expanded 3 articles simultaneously. It is not clear that the new content here should not be considered new even though it might have in that 7 day period been put on another page slightly before it was put here.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @TonyTheTiger: as buidhe notes, the rule here is gonna be 80%, not 1.5k – in that case, we'd call it a fivefold expansion that in total passes 1.5k. (And if the content is new, but put in multiple places, choose one article that it counts for.) Does it pass that? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 23:24, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - theleekycauldron This is mathematically impossible because the total prose size is 1542 bytes. Any significant copying, as Tony states above, would mean that it would be ineligible (t · c) buidhe 01:27, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - All right, well, it's on TTT to withdraw the nomination or prove the issue isn't valid. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 01:51, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Theleekycauldron and Buidhe: Since September 9, Campbell's Soup Cans has gone from 23105 characters to 44210 characters. By September 30 (7 days after I nominated this) it was already at 42861 characters. It has never appeared on DYK. When it was WP:TFA on May 10, 2007 it started the day with 24778 characters. So there is 20k of new content there and if that overlaps with this somewhat I don't think that should count because it has way more than 1500k of other content added. Campbell's Soup I ran at DYK on 8 October 2023. this version ran on DYK.

The following 181 characters in the current Campbell's Soup Cans II are identical to the version that ran: "Warhol commented on his silkscreens saying "the reason I’m painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do."" Each has an opening paragraph tailored to itself: CSCII says "Campbell's Soup Cans II is a work of art produced in 1969 by Andy Warhol as part of his Campbell's Soup Cans series. This is one of two 10-piece sets of screenprints that Warhol produced 250 of (the other being Campbell's Soup I produced a year earlier)." The CSI that ran had "Campbell's Soup I (sometimes Campbell's Soup Cans I) is a work of art produced in 1968 by Andy Warhol as a derivative of his Campbell's Soup Cans series." It also included the sentence "This is one of two 10-piece sets of screenprints that Warhol produced 250 of (the other being Campbell's Soup Cans II the following year)." I don't think the first sentence counts as duplicate content. Each is just describing itself in a similar manner. From CSCIIs opening paragraph the only content that is redundant from what ran is "This is one of two 10-piece sets of screenprints that Warhol produced 250 of", which is 76 characters.

The amount of the currently proposed article that is duplicate content is 181 + 76= 257. The article is 1542 which is more than 5x the duplicated content.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:32, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that the article that preexisted had 262 characters and this is also 5x of that.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:45, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @TonyTheTiger: if 262+257=519 characters in the article aren't new, this article couldn't be considered a 5x expansion, I'm afraid. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 20:43, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - So the number I would need is 2595? I have pushed it up over 2200 so far. Maybe I can get there.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:50, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - I need clarification on the expansion rules. If I cover the same topic as Campbell's Soup Cans but paraphrase the same source differently does it count as purely new text or text that has to be 5xed? To my understanding the Sunday B Morning fiasco happened after producing this set and then unauthorized reproductions began.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:06, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Theleekycauldron:-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - Also, I have rephrased "This is one of two 10-piece sets of screenprints that Warhol produced 250 of (the other being Campbell's Soup I produced a year earlier)" to "Following Campbell's Soup I the prior year, Warhol produced 250 of this 10-piece set of screenprints", which I think eliminates 76 characters of duplication and moves the character count to 2182 and moves the hurdle number to (262 + 181)*5=443*5=2215 characters I believe. Almost there if this is actually sufficient to reduce the duplication.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:30, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have added some "Sunday B Morning" content and await your evaluation of whether it is duplicative.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:53, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      - I think we understand text that isn't copied to generally be new. But I think that requires clarification, so i'll make a post at WT:DYK. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 23:17, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        OK. drop in a link to the discussion.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:51, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
meh, I'll get to it another time. In the meantime, probably best to let this go through, unless buidhe has further objections :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 08:04, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
