Opus (manga)

 * ... that an unfinished ending was found for Satoshi Kon's manga series Opus after his death and included in the collected volume?


 * ALT1:... that author Satoshi Kon, appearing at the end of his meta-manga Opus, is confronted by the protagonist for leaving the story unfinished?
 * Reviewed: Dormition of the Theotokos Church, Labovë e Kryqit
 * Comment: For ALT1, I don't feel a citation is needed per WP:FICTIONPLOT, but it can be supported by the Fandom Post cite.

 * Symbol question.svg The article is new enough (per the date moved to article space) and long enough, and I think ALT1 is a particularly interesting hook. Spot-checking found no issues with copyvios. QPQ was not needed (this appears to be the submitter's first DYK) but has been done nevertheless. But the entire "Plot" section is unsourced. Every paragraph of the article (not counting paragraphs in the lead that are purely summaries of material later in the article) must be sourced in order to pass the DYK rules. In addition, every claim in the hook must be in a sourced sentence of the article (not just a sentence belonging to a sourced paragraph, but a sentence with a source given on it). —David Eppstein (talk) 05:25, 12 October 2015 (UTC)


 * thank you for taking the time to review my nomination. I've added a citation for the sentence including the hook. (The specific passage: "Kon pulls the camera back even further and turns it on himself, to show us him, struggling with his own inability to finish Opus, and subjects himself to exactly the same kind of interpenetration that Nagai tangled with.") About the unsourced plot section, the policy WP:PRIMARY states that "An article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source." and MOS:PLOT says "The plot summary for a work, on a page about that work, does not need to be sourced with in-line citations". The manga itself is the implied source for the plot summary and I don't think I've made any interpretation. Opencooper (talk) 06:33, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Ok, supplemental rule D2 seems to except plot summaries from the requirement for sourced paragraphs, and the hook source sentence is now sourced. Since that was the only issue I found, I think this is now good to go. As stated above, I prefer hook ALT1. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:52, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
