  • ... that in 2019, Hope Runs High started theatrically re-releasing documentaries directed by Lee Grant, marking the first time many of the films have been exhibited in decades? "I'm Like History Passing By: An Interview With Lee Grant". December 4, 2019.

Created by Lwottring (talk). Nominated by SL93 (talk) at 01:20, 14 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • New enough, long enough. QPQ Done. I tried to clean up the article to get it ready for a DYK Review. I just added the source for the hook above, @Lwottring: is that the right one? In any case, could you look at what I did and clean-up the article further. If you want all those subsections I suggest you add some more content to each of them. Also, there were way too many references for the amount of information you had there. Please give this a look and report back. --evrik (talk) 03:52, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Evrik: I'm not sure if Lwottring has any interest in coming back to Wikipedia because they haven't logged on in awhile. I will gave the editor time and if not, I will withdraw this nomination. SL93 (talk) 04:09, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Evrik: @Lwottring: The only problem I see is that the sentence "In 2019, Hope Runs High began to refocus on theatrical distribution, beginning with a limited theatrical re-release of documentaries by Lee Grant." is not currently referenced...although the article would be fine if that sentence was removed.

  • Lwottring, please note that when you fail to sign your post, any ping you attempt (like to evrik just above) does not go through. Only when the ping and the sig are made at the same time will the ping go through to its attended recipient. As a general rule, all posts should be signed (using ~~~~). Thanks.

  • Article appears to be in better shape, and well sourced. I'm a little concerned about editorializing, but the main issue is that the hook isn't all that interesting. The article suggests the company may be actively a distributor of LGBT+ films, could something be written on that? Kingsif (talk) 12:21, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Yoninah: I have scoured the Internet, and I cannot find much written about the company. However, there is a lot written about the films that they feature. If you look at all the films they feature, it is a compendium of pieces on women LGBT and people of color. The hook is sourced, which is what you asked for, and mind you this is neither my article nor my nomination. If you would like, I can look at the article and see if I can come up with another hook.--evrik (talk) 21:40, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you. I noticed you said this earlier, and other editors rushed in to take over. But the company is too new and has done so little that we really do need to wait until it gets more press. Marking for closure. Yoninah (talk) 23:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • evrik, Yoninah, Lwottring added five bare refs on July 13, though no mention was made of it here. Do any of them help with the hook sourcing issue? (If so, something further will need to be done: six refs in a row is excessive, and bare URLs have to be fixed before the nomination can be approved.) Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:56, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The refs added nothing, and I have removed. All the sources deal with films and not the company. If you look t the films in their totality, you can see that the sentence is true. The hook is sourced, but not to Yoninah's satisfaction. --evrik (talk) 22:38, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I took these out for the time being. Add them back in after this goes through the DYK process. --evrik (talk) 13:57, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
