- ... that RHI Entertainment's miniseries based on Moby-Dick is the first to air on the U.S. pay-television network Encore?

Where's the plot section? It should be easy to add (as long as there were not many changes from the original). Other than that, length and date check out. Sourcing is fine. Hook fact is cited, and hook is of the proper length. This and this check of sources show no close paraphrasing. If we add the plot section, this should be good to go. (The rules state that articles that are severely lacking in coverage may be refused). Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:27, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Looks fine to me. Article does not need a "plot" section because the plot comes from the book, and it is long enough for DYK without that sort of addition. --Orlady (talk) 14:16, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- I respectfully disagree. The article notes that it is a "reimagined version", so the plot may have had significant changes, which would require a plot section. I've never seen the miniseries, so I cannot add the section myself. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:22, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- Surely I don't need to remind you that we are reviewing for DYK, not for GA or FA status. Comprehensiveness is not a requirement for DYK. This article is an informative piece of content of sufficient length for DYK -- without including a synopsis of the "reimagined" elements of the plot. Moreover, the hook focuses on a business-related aspect of the mini-series, not artistic aspects such as its plot. --Orlady (talk) 19:25, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
The rules state that obviously unfinished articles should not be on the main page, and for a work of fiction the plot is important (heck, it is often the longest part of the article). I guess this could be approved, but I have my reservations. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:25, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
