Moved to mainspace by OlifanofmrTennant (talk) and TheDoctorWho (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 15 past nominations.
Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 01:55, 25 June 2024 (UTC).
Article is neutral, free from copyvio, suitably referenced, and meets the length and newness criteria—moved to mainspace on 23 June, within seven days of this nomination. The hooks are succinct, neutral, interesting, and reliably sourced; I've changed "fifty years" to "up to 50 years" for clarity and concision. QPQ is done (though your reviews should be a bit more detailed). This is good to go! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:27, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @OlifanofmrTennant and Rhain:
unfortunately, I'm not sure the hook verifies – Davies says there's stuff in the finale that I must have been thinking of for 40 or 50 years
, which isn't equivalent to the premise of episode. If the hook is edited to match, I'd recommend attributing to Davies instead of using wikivoice and saying "decades" instead of saying the less clear "up to 50 years". theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 06:49, 13 July 2024 (UTC)- Good catch. I would recommend this as an alternative:
- ALT0b: ... that according to writer Russell T Davies, he conceived elements of the Doctor Who episode "Empire of Death" decades before he wrote it?

- @Theleekycauldron: Alternatively, how about something like "... Russell T Davies claimed to have come up with the premise of the Doctor Who episode "Empire of Death" decades before he wrote it?Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 09:38, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- The problem with that, as theleekycauldron pointed out, is that Davies didn't really say anything about "the premise" in the reference; he just said there were elements—"stuff", in his words—that he'd been thinking about for decades. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 11:41, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- ALT0b works for me! hopefully, someone can give that hook a trim in prep, but it looks fine for now :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 15:02, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
