General eligibility:

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article expanded on 28 May; while the new version is more than five times longer than the previously existing one, a fair amount consists of verbatim quotes that by my understanding of the DYK rules do not count towards fivefold expansion, and discounting those it comes up just shy of the mark by my count. I see that this is also currently a WP:Good article nominee, so here's what I'll do: I will review the GAN—if it's successful, I'll request a new reviewer for the DYK nomination. If the GAN is not successful but the article is expanded further to such an extent that it meets the fivefold expansion mark within a week, I'll approve the DYK nomination (assuming everything else is okay, of course).

On with the DYK review: All sources are, as far as I can tell, reliable for the material they are cited for. There are no obvious neutrality issues. Earwig reveals no copyvio, but there is some WP:Close paraphrasing. The hook is both cited and interesting. QPQ has been done. Some comments about the content:

  • Noting both the frame rate of two per second and the frame duration of half a second is a tad redundant, I would think.
  • The second paragraph in the "Background" section is basically all verbatim quotes from the source or WP:Close paraphrasing thereof. I would just use a {{quote box}}.
  • Brown also claimed that as a substantial part of Douglas' work, 24 Hour Psycho has been "shown all over the world" – I would parse this use of "as" as "it has been shown all over the world, as has a significant proportion of Douglas' other creations", but what the source says is "The renown of 24 Hour Psycho has made it a substantial part of Douglas's biography [...]", in other words saying that it is "a substantial part" rather than has similarities with a substantial part.
  • two side-by-side projections of 24 Hour Psycho—one running forwards and the other backwards—until both films meet in the middle for an identical, one-second shot – I would say this is WP:Close paraphrasing of the source's "two side-by-side projections of 24 Hour Psycho, with one running forward and one running backward, until both films meet in the middle for an identical, one-second shot", but it's more like an unattributed quote.

I have now reviewed the WP:Good article nomination and closed it as successful, so this needs a new, uninvolved reviewer. TompaDompa (talk) 23:08, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
Cleared GA on 10 June, after being posted, so I'm going to go with "inside time frame". Hook is interesting and directly cited, and the only close quoting is actual quotes. Long enough, well cited, GTG. Maury Markowitz (talk) 15:46, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
