The result was: promoted by Theleekycauldron (talk09:01, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Whitsunderland (talk). Self-nominated at 02:30, 12 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: QPQ not neccessary as it is the editor's first nomination. Article is new enough and long enough, neutral and plagiarism free and it is thoroughly referenced (apart from one - if you could just add a reference there that would be great). Hook is OK, but I wonder if there's something a bit hookier to catch attention? Maybe something that reflects her really wide range of interests? It was really interesting to read about her extraordinary life - thanks for the work you've done to share her life! Lajmmoore (talk) 10:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5 and Lajmmoore: give me a few minutes and I'll finish it up, I think. SusunW (talk) 18:26, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, what I found is that her papers (which date is confirmed by passport records) show her birth date. A newspaper clipping says she grew up in society and was a debutante. I think that takes care of the uncited stuff. Ping me if you need anything else. As for a hook, possibly: SusunW (talk) 19:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
