Comment: Hi, I forgot DYK was supposed to be about real world facts. I can't really see anything else that might be suitable, so happy to withdraw this. Do I have to delete it?

...New Zealander James Ashcroft enjoys “playing in the dark” and has directed two psychological horror films based on short stories by kiwi writer Owen Marshall.

Here's another version. How's this?Blackballnz (talk) 02:47, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

As currently written, that doesn't meet WP:DYKINT. I'd personally shorten it to just: ... that New Zealander director James Ashcroft enjoys "playing in the dark"? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:28, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

That's fine by me. This is the source of the quote: https://thespinoff.co.nz/pop-culture/19-03-2025/i-enjoy-playing-in-the-dark-inside-james-ashcrofts-latest-nightmare Blackballnz (talk) 06:01, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Review New enough, long enough, sourced well enough. Copyvio free according to Earwig (only quotes are copied). Article doesn't have an infobox but is still presentable, though would recommend splitting into sections and merging paragraphs. Hook is cited and interesting. (something like ALT1: ... that James Ashcroft wants to "stick something serious down [the audience's throats]"? also works) No images, so none to review. No QPQ required. Congratulations, pass.
