- Comment: I intend this as a little homage to an important athlete who passed away this morning. I should note that I'm still working extensively on the article to tweak it and expand it with more notable information, as I've also nominated it for ITN:RD. For once, I actually managed to complete my review before submitting a nom: yay!

5x expanded by Oltrepier (talk). Self-nominated at 21:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Carmen Valero; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

I'll review this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just about everything looks good; however, I notice there's one {citation needed} tag in the article. Could you fix that? BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:36, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: Hello, thank you for reviewing my entry! In the end, I've decided to delete that passage completely: the URL I tried to retrieve from the specific article was apparently dead, and perhaps those bits of information weren't so significant, anyway... Anything else I should work on? Oltrepier (talk) 10:33, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, this looks good! Nice work.
