Created by Bri (talk) and SounderBruce (talk). Nominated by Bri (talk) at 02:06, 24 March 2017 (UTC).
New (created on March 21, 2017), sufficiently long, hooks have reliable inline citations, QPQ done and Earwig check returned satisfactory report. Original hook is interesting, the other ones are also okay. I prefer the original hook but suggest a slight tweak, ...that Neptune Theatre in Seattle had weekly showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show from 1977 to 1993, and reopened with the same show after renovation in 2011? jojo@nthony (talk) 12:16, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
- I like the sound of that tweak, but I'd change "same show" to "same film", as, despite the name, Rocky Horror is a movie. Thoughts, Bri? SounderBruce 13:52, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce:, yes, that would be fine. Show/Film, my oversight, sorry. Please ping me once you have made the change, then I will add the tick. jojo@nthony (talk) 15:27, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
propose the below hook for promotion.
...that Neptune Theatre in Seattle had weekly showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show from 1977 to 1993, and reopened with the same film after renovation in 2011? jojo@nthony (talk) 06:02, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
- Where in the article does it say that the theatre had weekly showings from 1977 to 1993? 97198 (talk) 12:17, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- @97198: citation 13: Ramirez (1993) "the movie is now into its 15th year at the Neptune". It probably continued for years after this, but 15 straight years is a minimum. That it played as a midnight movie is established by same source "weekend night, week after week" and cite 12 (Hartl) "The Rocky Horror Picture Show...has been playing there every weekend for 14 years".

- Neptune Theatre (Seattle) § Rocky Horror says it had played for 14 years by 1991, and continued till 1993. §Recent renovation says it played again after renovation in 2011. Bri (talk) 15:20, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- I see. It feels a little too much like WP:OR/WP:SYNTH for me to feel comfortable promoting it, but I've removed my query icon above so the nomination doesn't get held up if another promoter comes along and thinks it's okay. 97198 (talk) 16:14, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- WP:OR or WP:SYNTH relate to arriving at an inference or implication which is not stated in the sources. Here, both the facts are explicitly stated in the sources and what nominator did was just to combine the statements. He did not arrive at any inference which has not been stated in the sources. jojo@nthony (talk) 18:17, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
