General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes

Image eligibility:

  • Freely licensed: No - The documentation on this image is not really adequate (incorrect template used, no date given in the source linked); however this alternative source shows a portion of the same picture with a date given as circa 1920, and thus PD in the US, so I do believe it’s freely licensed but I’m not sure how we can adequately update the documentation; that probably does need to happen so it doesn’t wind up deleted on a technicality while on MP. Alternately, that site does have more pictures of her you could choose from, altho the organ is very nice.
  • Used in article: Yes
  • Clear at 100px: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: For the image and the sourcing, just let me know when updated and I will update my review! Innisfree987 (talk) 03:32, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Innisfree987 I added more sources. I will just ditch the image. SL93 (talk) 04:13, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • 5x expansion checks out, article is complete in and of itself, provides adequate context for the non-expert, and is referenced throughout. Hook is interesting and in the article, AGF on paywalled reference, but a search in Googe Books verifies the facts mentioned here. QPQ has been done, good to go.

  • Very good nom here! Love this topic and glad it's gonna be good to go for DYK. Recently passed GA review, so that covers its new enough, presentable, and well-sourced considerations. It is also long enough, and the hook is interesting and well-sourced as well. A lot of ALT hooks can be constructed for this one, but ALT0 is good. Good job on this one Soulbust (talk) 14:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Expansion date and length ok. QPQ done and close paraphrase ok. The source is not exactly independent (GMA, same as producing company) but the claim is hardly extraordinary. --Soman (talk) 01:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Both articles are in good shape, I don't see any evidence of copyvio or anything that would need fixing before running. AGF on the hook, but it's supported and cited in both articles. QpQs check off. Both articles are eligible in terms of length and newness. Seems good to go here. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 23:13, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article was moved to mainspace on the 28th, so is new enough. At over 3000 characters, it is long enough. In-line citations are properly used, the article reads neutrally, and the copyvio detector found no issues. The hook is neutral, interesting, and cited in-line in the article. The QPQ has been done. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 23:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
