Disappearing World (TV series)

 * ... that the producer of the TV series Disappearing World acknowledged that the episodes "more often reflect a changing world than a disappearing one"?

 * Symbol question.svg The article is new enough, plenty long enough, and nominated timely. QPQ was done No copyvios were found (AGF since a major source is not online). The hook is sourced but IMO is not very interesting - not "grabby" or curiosity-provoking as a hook should be. What would you think about something like


 * alt1 ... that the title of the documentary television series Disappearing World has been described as "something of an albatross"? (sourced to the same work as the original hook proposal)

, if you prefer to stick with the original hook I will still approve this, but I thought I would make the suggestion. MelanieN (talk) 20:19, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. (By the way, the Loizos article is available in a free PDF from AnthroSource here; I just added it to the citation.) Rigadoun (talk) 15:31, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. Good to go with alt1. MelanieN (talk) 16:56, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Per Rule H2, you cannot approve your own hook. Could another reviewer take a look at ALT1? Yoninah (talk) 17:32, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry. MelanieN (talk) 02:05, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Second review: Personally, I find the first hook cute, and appropriate for a quirky slot, which is always desirable. But if you prefer ALT1, that hook ref is offline and AGF, and cited inline. However, all the charts under Episodes are not cited. Where did you get this information from? Yoninah (talk) 20:37, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the above question, about the charts not being cited, is addressed to you. Also, you and Yoninah should decide what hook to use. MelanieN (talk) 00:32, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * it seems the nominator hasn't edited since October 16. I am inclined to give it a few more days and then close it as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 00:39, 14 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Would a primary source be acceptable in this case? There's always Cite Episode for these kinds of things. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:05, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with that. But what about footnote 3? Does anyone have access to the full article to check if these episodes are listed there? Yoninah (talk) 13:55, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've been too busy to reply or update the refs in the article. The list was a combination of footnote 3 (which is complete, but only to 1980) and IMDb (IIRC, that was the only list that gave the air dates), and information from the blurbs at the RAI Film Festival (to confirm what they were about). Rigadoun (talk) 20:09, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * please add the sources before or after the box. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:48, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * this nomination is now more than two months old. If you're not planning to add the sources please let us know. Please answer within the next few days, or this will be closed as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 19:37, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Rigadoun hasn't edited in more than two weeks. As the issue is easily resolvable (simply duplicate the references in the box), any editor, including myself or you, could fix this. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:28, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * as I've mentioned many times, I don't think it's our job to salvage other people's nominations. I have enough to do building prep sets. If you want to take care of this, and make sure the refs are RS, please do. Yoninah (talk) 13:03, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the delay, real life intervenes. I added the sources as I listed above the table. Rigadoun (talk) 14:29, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Third review - all criteria has been met. This DYK is ready to go. Note: I added a few more sources & a review to the article. Atsme ✍🏻📧 18:21, 1 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Thank you, . Internet Movie Database is usually not considered a reliable source. I've also tagged one paragraph that lacks any citation per Rule D2. Yoninah (talk) 17:24, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yoninah, I added a Jstor source for the cn tag, and while I realize IMD is not usually considered a RS, the only place I can see where it was cited is footnote 17 for the listed episodes, which are already verifiable in some the other cited sources, and by Google search. The IMD citation provides a list of programs which are quite helpful because the titles can be used to Google the information re: specific episodes. I am comfortable that the material in the article has been verified by the cited sources throughout the article; i.e. references. I'm not finding the paragraph you say is not cited with a single source. Atsme ✍🏻📧 18:50, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks for all your work, . I've taken the liberty of adding you to the co-creation credits. Everything looks good and I'm restoring your tick. Yoninah (talk) 19:05, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
