You've Got Time

 * ... that Regina Spektor wrote the theme song for Orange is the New Black after watching post-production edits of the first few episodes?

 * FYI I thought DYK was 10 days. It hasn't quite been eight days, still in the seven range. Hopefully it can still be considered! —Мандичка YO 😜 05:23, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Long enough, neutral, no paraphrasing issues detected, hook is cited. Unfortunately, this article does not meet the typical criteria for "new enough", as it is around eight days old. Keep in mind that this article would become eligible for DYK again if it were promoted to good article status and nominated within seven days of the promotion. Additionally, I recommend reviewing the rules for the formatting of a hook before nominating another article, which can be found at WP:DYK. Thanks for your contributions on this article! ~ RobTalk 06:36, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It's not yet eight days old but seven days old :-) I don't think this article will ever have a chance to be a GA - I don't see how it would ever be long enough to meet the requirements. —Мандичка YO 😜 06:54, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The guidelines state that the article must be "no more than seven days old". As this was seven days and 21 hours old when it was nominated, I believe it's over the limit, and I do not see a compelling reason to overlook the limit in this case. You're welcome to request a second opinion if you disagree with my interpretation of the guidelines. ~ RobTalk 07:19, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * This rule does not appear to be set in stone as the cutoff is midnight, regardless at what time of day the article was created. So if I had submitted it a few hours earlier, it would automatically have been allowed. Since it meets the other criteria and was not 8 days old, I think it WP:IAR should be given consideration, as having this DYK about the Grammy-nominated theme to a hugely popular, groundbreaking show would indeed be beneficial to WP, don't you think? —Мандичка YO 😜 07:37, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The way I'm interpreting the rule, "no more than seven days old" means 168 hours, not 168 hours plus the time until midnight in some arbitrarily chosen time zone. I did consider applying WP:IAR in this case, but decided against it. I do not believe this is an article of such significance that it must be included in DYK, and there appears to be no convincing rationale why this article could not have been nominated prior to the deadline in the eligibility criteria (i.e. ongoing event finishing 10 hours after the deadline, for instance). ~ RobTalk 08:42, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Let's not be so picky. WP:IAR may be applied here. Mjroots (talk) 11:36, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I don't necessarily agree with WP:IAR being applied in this situation, but I will defer to your experience with that policy. Good to go, as newness was the only thing holding me back in my earlier review. ~ RobTalk 16:04, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
