Life on Mars (song)

Moved to mainspace by Zmbro (talk). Self-nominated at 14:56, 27 September 2021 (UTC).

  • I am having trouble finding a move to mainspace in the page history. There's an edit made with that summary that adds a large amount of content, but previous revisions show that the article existed in mainspace for quite some time before that. The only entry in the move log is from 2015. That aside, a 5x expansion is almost present. The prose size of the September 19 revision is 6603 B (1163 words), whereas the current revision is 27 kB (4636 words). This means that 5x would mean further expansion, either to 33kb or 5815 words (the difference being either 6,000 bytes or 1179 words). If expansion is completed I will give a full review. jp×g 07:01, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Alternatively, I notice that the article is currently a GA nominee; if that passes, it'll automatically be eligible for DYK without any further expansion required. jp×g 07:03, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
  • @JPxG:: it appears that they were working on the article in a sandbox and moved the contents of that to the mainspace article. That doesn't seem to count as a move to mainspace for the purposes of DYK though. eviolite (talk) 13:41, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
  • I've never done this before so I apologize if I did it wrong. – zmbro (talk) 14:01, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Dope. Passing. jp×g 02:28, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
  • jp×g, can you please give the complete review here? While being a new GA takes care of the basic eligibility in terms of the article's newness and size qualification (provided it's at least 1500 prose characters), it grants nothing else. You need to make your own checks on the "within policy" and other criteria. Thanks for being more specific. (This would appear to be Zmbro's first DYK nomination, so no QPQ will be required.) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:53, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Sure.
General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Looks good. New enough, sourced enough, neutral enough, no copyvio found, and hook is cited. jp×g 22:38, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

  • Promoter's comment to @JPxG: I think you might have missed the lower brackets of the nom—your last review ended up going outside them because they were on the reflist-talk parameter. no worries, it's all good! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/them) 20:28, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
