Bobbi Kristina Brown

Improved to Good Article status by Kbabej (talk). Self-nominated at 23:25, 29 November 2021 (UTC).

  • she didn't really die in similar circumstances to her mother, did she? She died 6 months after being placed in a medically induced coma. Her mother died (according to our article) from drowning in a bathtub. Therapyisgood (talk) 16:42, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Whitney died from being submerged in the bathtub, while Bobbi died from effects of the coma from being submerged in a bathtub. --Kbabej (talk) 16:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
Review I will give it a go. The article is lengthy so this may take a bit. Bruxton (talk) 15:56, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

QPQ: No - not required
Overall: The article is interesting, the hook is also interesting. The death of the daughter in a similar manner is eyebrow raising. The article was promoted to GA on the day it was nominated, so that requirement is met. The review of references - in some book sources, I have to assume good faith that the editor has read the sections and properly referenced as in Reference #1. The Earwigs copyright violation tool says "violation unlikely". From what I can see, the direct quotes have been properly cited and they do not appear to be violations. Many are quoting Medical examiner reports and lengthy official office names like "The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office in Atlanta". So no problems there. From, the QPQ check - it looks like the editor is not required to complete one. I verified the hook, mother WH "was found unresponsive in a bathtub" and BKB was found "face down in a bathtub" Anther source confirms that the mother WH was also found "face-down". The article is referenced with inline citations and the article is neutral. Reference #40 may be an incorrect link. I ask the article author to correct the error and then ping me so I can update the review. taken care of now No image is needed. Bruxton (talk) 17:03, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

@Bruxton: Thank you for catching that, and for reviewing this. The source in question has been replaced. --Kbabej (talk) 17:52, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
Good work! Bruxton (talk) 18:20, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
@Kbabej and Bruxton: I'm worried that this is WP:OR—if another source didn't explicitly draw a comparison between the two's deaths, we shouldn't be doing that on our own. In any case, the hook fact needs to be stated in the article before promotion. theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she) 21:31, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
@Theleekycauldron: Here is a Atlanta Journal Constitution. Headline: "Bobbi Kristina died almost exactly like her mother Whitney Houston did, report says" I found more when I was researching the hook. Bruxton (talk) 21:40, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
@Bruxton: sounds good! that comparison'll need to be added to the article and cited inline before promotion.
@Theleekycauldron and Bruxton: The comparison has been added to the article. --Kbabej (talk) 21:45, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
aighty, good to go! theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (they/she) 22:00, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
