Symbol delete vote.svg I'm sorry. but these are all small stubs created on the same date. The minimum for a new article is 1500 characters of readable prose. — Maile (talk) 21:57, 16 September 2016 (UTC) Striking obsolete discussion so future reviewers are not confused.--Coin945 (talk) 12:42, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Fixed. All expanded beyond 1500 characters of readable prose. None are stubs. Please reassess. Thanks!! :D--Coin945 (talk) 03:37, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Disney's Animated Storybook: The Little Mermaid article added to DYK nom. QPQ for this article is Template:Did you know nominations/Zimbabwe national football team.--Coin945 (talk) 05:53, 17 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Complete review needed. — Maile  (talk) 11:51, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I will review this nomination. The first hurdle each article has to pass is the DYK requirement for 1500 characters of original prose. I can see that some of the text is replicated between articles and I will need to investigate whether each reaches the minimum length requirement. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:47, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The content was first added to Disney's Animated Storybook on the 12th (which is within 7 days of the nomination, and therefore original prose). After being added to that article, I decided the series article should be split into individual video game articles, which then each received some of the content (which was altered accordingly). I would really like to see these articles passed considering all of the work I have put into this. I look forward to collaborating with you on this review.--Coin945 (talk) 05:58, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Good. It has been determined at DYK in the past that if two articles are to qualify for DYK and have similar formats, as in this case, the text from the first created is considered new while the second needs 1500 characters of prose that are not included in the first, ie the Promotion and Reception type sections of these articles. The first article you created was The Lion King so I will review that one initially. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:19, 19 September 2016 (UTC)


 * It is a pity that you have replicated errors across the articles. For example the person you call "Mare Teren" is actually "Marc Teren" See here and this error is also made in places in the main article Disney's Animated Storybook. There are also some typos in the "Conception" and "Development" sections of these articles. Additionally, is the wording "clickable gags" what you intended, or did you mean "clickable tags"? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:41, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. I fixed Marc Teren and will look over those typos. Yes, the wording is supposed to be "clickable gags". The players clicks on an object and then an animated gag plays out. (If it turns out that some of the articles don't qualify for DYK due to not having 1500 original characters of prose, then I will remove the ineligible articles from the nom and only include the eligible ones. This will include de-bolding those articles from the DYK hook).--Coin945 (talk) 06:51, 19 September 2016 (UTC)


 * The Lion King, at 3073 characters, is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and I did not detect any close paraphrasing or other policy issues. ✅
 * According to my calculations:


 * Honey Tree has 2812 - 1398 = 1414 characters of original prose ✅ - fixed
 * Pocahontas has 2229 - 1374 = 855 characters of original prose ✅ - fixed
 * The Toy Story has 2899 - 1373 = 1526 characters of original prose ✅
 * Hunchback has 1992 - 1512 = 480 characters of original prose ✅ - fixed
 * 101 Dalmatians has 2959 - 1378 = 1581 characters of original prose ✅
 * Hercules has 2002 - 1372 = 630 characters of original prose ✅ - fixed
 * The Little Mermaid has 4492 - 2206 = 2286 characters of original prose ✅
 * Mulan has 2487 - 1403 = 1084 characters of original prose ✅ - fixed
 * Tigger Too has 2041 - 1394 = 647 characters of original prose ✅ - fixed
 * If these character counts and my maths are correct, that means four articles are long enough and one marginally under, while the others are currently too short by some way. I will leave you to decide how to proceed, it would be easy to expand the lead sections by a sentence or two without resorting to undue padding, and maybe you can find some more information to expand the shorter articles. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update. I'll continue to expand the remaining articles, and add question marks to the articles when I've expanded them, and ping you when I would like another calculation.--Coin945 (talk) 10:44, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi ! Please can you reassess the articles? I've expanded them.--Coin945 (talk) 12:15, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I think all the articles pass the length criterion now so we are nearly there. A couple of remaining points: 101 Dalmatians and Mulan each have an uncited paragraph. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 15:23, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Done.--Coin945 (talk) 16:11, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * One final thing, could you add to each article the release date and cite it, or cite the date in the infobox, because at the moment the release date is given, uncited, in the lead and not in the body of the article. This citation will then support the part of the hook that states "... that in the 1990's ...". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:37, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I've sourced all the years.--Coin945 (talk) 13:07, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg These ten articles are new enough and long enough, each with sufficient unique content to satisfy DYK requirements. The hook facts have inline citations, the articles are neutral, and I detected no policy issues. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:11, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
