Blow Up (French TV series)
- ... that when the French web series Blow Up briefly aired on television in 2014, its allotted airtime was too short to fit some of its episodes?
- Source: (in French) "'Blow Up' : les secrets de fabrication du webmag d'Arte" (transl. "'Blow Up': the secrets of the creation of the Arte webmag.") "Elle l'a diffusé une fois, en 2014, pendant six mois. C'était très intéressant, sauf qu'on m'avait imposé une durée de 4,10 minutes par vidéo. Pour certains formats, comme les 'Bio express', je pouvais m'en sortir. Mais pour les 'Top 5', il était impossible de comprimer les séquences." (transl. "It broadcast it once, in 2014, for six months. It was very interesting, except that I was given a duration of 4.10 minutes per video. For certain formats, like 'Bio express', I could get by. But for the 'Top 5', it was impossible to compress the sequences.")
- Reviewed:
- Comment: In the article, the fact is in the second paragraph of § Release. The citation is at the end of that paragraph.

- Article was new enough and long enough at the time of the nomination. QPQ is not needed for a nom with less than five nominations. I did not find close paraphrasing. Assuming good faith on the French sources. The hook and the article don't exactly match: the hook says episodes, but the article says it was formats that couldn't fit. However, given the intent, I'm willing to let it slide since the point is still essentially the same. A reference also has to be duplicated to the relevant sentence supporting the hook fact per WP:DYKHFC. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:05, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Narutolovehinata5, thank you for reviewing my nomination! I have added the citation as you suggested. Regarding your comment about the mismatching terms, the hook and the article are meant to reflect the same fact. As explained in § Overview, episodes of Blow Up come in various formats (e.g. "Bio express" and "Top 5"), so saying "a format" is equivalent to saying "episodes in a format". If you think this wording is confusing, let me know, and I can rewrite the sentence in the article. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk – edits) 03:42, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- I would personally let it slide, but it could potentially become an issue at WT:DYK, so it might be better safe than sorry. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:45, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ok. I think I will leave it for now because it is concise and it more closely matches the wording in the cited quote. –CopperyMarrow15 (talk – edits) 19:27, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
