With QPQ concluded, everything else is good to go. Hook is cited as "three times" if you're looking for it. Maury Markowitz (talk) 23:04, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I think this hook will not do. The source supporting the hook compares the cost of Cybergeddon to that of Electric City, but does not state that that was previously the most expensive web series. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:05, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes it does. It specifically states that. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:26, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Please point me to the sentence where this is specifically stated. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:42, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * "At $6 million, Cybergeddon is the most expensive Web series of all time, topping the roughly $2 million spent on Tom Hanks’ Electric City." essentially states that Electric City was the prior record holder.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:16, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw that before. It may imply but does not state that Electric City was the prior most expensive series. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:36, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It sure as hell implies it and that's what I take it to say, as would the "common man" I suspect. I say the hook is fine.. Maury Markowitz (talk) 18:17, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * This seems like a ridiculous objection. When you report that something has set a new record and surpassed another thing, that other thing is presumed to be the prior record holder.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 18:25, 19 September 2016 (UTC)


 * This nom has been sitting here since August. Once again it is being held up by an objection over precise language that no one else seems to care about (given the lack of comments since). DYK is supposed to be a light and easy way for editors to get a little notice on new articles. We have clearly lost the plot, and I think Tony deserves an apology. I hope mine will suffice. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:19, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Given the amount of flak Cwmhiraeth has taken over issues of precision, I entirely understand that they want to be absolutely certain in this case. it seems to me there is an easy fix here: simply use the more basic fact from the same source, that it was the most expensive web series when it was created. Must we get hung up on the 3 times as much? Vanamonde (talk) 07:14, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectly happy with that, Tony? Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:04, 14 November 2016 (UTC)


 * ALT1 ... that the 2012 web series Cybergeddon was the most expensive web series in history at the time it was created?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:31, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
