A fact from List of accolades received by Joe Hisaishi appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 September 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
The article is currently not in compliance with MOS:LEADFORALIST and therefore fails the WP:DYKCOMPLETE criteria for presentability. The list makes the mistake of providing a mini biography of the subject in the first paragraph of the lead, rather than defining the scope of the list and summarizing what is contained in the list. This is a problem not only because it makes the list unfocused, but also because the vast majority of the text is simply parroting back biographical material found elsewhere rather than providing something new. (A hint, if the lead for a list page looks the same as a biography page then it hasn't been written properly)
The lead needs a complete rewrite. I suggest looking at the lead section of List of awards and nominations received by Adele (an FA List) which jumps right in to defining the list and talking about its scope and dispenses with giving a biographical overview altogether. Another example is List of awards and nominations received by Björk which mixes in some biographical content while still staying focused primarily on awards which is where the focus must be when writing a lead section on a list of awards. These are what the lead sections for a list of awards page should look like. Please ping me when the lead has been rewritten and I will do a full review.

@4meter4: I've made some changes to the lead per your suggestions. I take a slightly more relaxed interpretation of the lead guideline for list articles, but I agree that the previous version could have done a better job of contextualizing the topic of the article. I have done so, and the biographical information is now further into the lead and interspersed with prose relating to the accolades. Let me know what you think! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Much improved. Good work! Article is new enough and long enough. Everything appears to be within policy. This hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 01:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
