Death Race 2

• ... that Death Race 2 is not a sequel but the prequel to a prequel?

• Source: "If Death Race 2 proves anything, it’s that director Roel Reiné is not the one who shits on the sidewalk. And how did he do that, you ask? By delivering a prequel to Paul Anderson’s prequel to the Roger Corman classic Death Race 2000 that’s far more competent a prequel than the original prequel ever could be." - Dread Central

• Comment: Hoping WP:IAR can be applied to this nomination. I made my first edit to this article last January but only to modify the infobox image file name following a file upload of an actual cover artwork for the movie (diff). On June 18 I made the same edit but then suddenly realized the article's body was essentially a mess (diff), hence the expansion. Bottomline is my edits prior to the expansion were relatively minor and I don't believe they're blatant violation of the newness criterion. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 10:09, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

5x expanded by Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 5 past nominations.

• @Nineteen Ninety-Four guy: Article was 5221 characters preexpansion (18 June) and is 11143 characters now. I suggest that you nominate this for WP:GA.--Launchballer 12:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Out of curiosity, how much characters should I have provided to make this 5x? Because based on my calculations, I've added 5,922 characters, which is roughly 51% expansion. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 12:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

26105, so you'd need a further 14962.--Launchballer 13:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

I see. You may close this, thanks. Nineteen Ninety-Four guy (talk) 13:05, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
