Template:Did you know nominations/Çanakkale 1915

... that the 2012 Turkish historical drama film Çanakkale 1915 was screen-written by Turgut Özakman and based upon his 2008 historical novel Diriliş: Çanakkale 1915?

Comment: Found a 224 characters (39 word stub at AFD. Was easy to improve and expand to a 1222 characters (201 word) start class... an easy 5x expansion.

16px The article has only 1,250 (approx.) characters of narrative text. To be eligible for DYK, an article needs a minimum of 1,500 characters of narrative text. So, as things stand, this does not qualify. However, if this can be expanded further, ping me and I'll take another look. (Also, this could not be passed for DYK until the pending AfD is closed as keep [which appears likely] or no consensus.) Cbl62 (talk) 16:47, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

I'll ping you when I get it longer. Translating from Turkey is difficult. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 07:08, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Michael - Thank you for expanding further. The article is now over 1500 characters and is out of AfD. (Nice rescue work.) This may seem picky, but the plot sentence with one very short sentence saying that the movie is about the Gallipoli campaign in 1915 strikes me as being way too short and lacking. I notice from one of the sources when I did a google search that the story is based on the memoirs of Salih Bozok, which traces the life of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Ataturk was the founder of modern Turkey and gained fame for his role in the war. Bozok was Ataturk's aide de camp during the war. Any chance you could beef up the plot section at least a wee bit before this goes to the main page? Cbl62 (talk) 15:15, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
