@Cambalachero: Per WP:DYKNEW, "The seven-day limit can be extended for a day or two upon request." For a relatively new nominator, I'd take this.--Laun chba ller 00:04, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK Cambalachero (talk) 14:53, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pulled from Prep 3. The hook fact is cited to promotional material from the theatre, which is insufficient for such an exceptional claim. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:11, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mjks28 and Cambalachero: Please address the above.--Laun chba ller 23:59, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two new sources ([1] and [2]) have been added to the article to back up the hook. I hope this suffices. Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done.—Mjks28 (talk) 02:49, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem you have is that the hook is an WP:EXCEPTIONAL claim, which means it needs exceptional sourcing. The article currently cites Melbourne International Film Festival, Beat (magazine), and Onlymelbourne.com.au, none of which fill me with confidence.--Laun chba ller 15:13, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How does one quantify if the given sources are reliable enough to support an exceptional claim? Is there a minimum amount of sources needed, and are there only certain types of publications allowed?—Mjks28 (talk) 03:11, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've had another look and now I'm not sure. @Crisco 1492:, what do you think?--Laun chba ller 16:59, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ideally an industry standard would work, but I think between MIFF and Beat we should have enough. The main reason I flagged this originally was the use of a primary source, which is definitely a no-no. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think so as well. Unless there are any further objections, let's roll.--Laun chba ller 17:56, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
