Identified DYK problems[edit]

Malta Test Station; plagiarism, stayed on mainpage with copyvio tag, got almost 3,000 hits, ANI
Spring Canyon, Utah; WP:Close paraphrasing and non-reliable, commercial source, found at RFA
Jameela Jamil; non-reliable sources, BLP, on mainpage but DYK pulled it as soon as I let them know, DYK Talk
Black Eyed Kids; non-reliable sources, notability not established, only one RS, I alerted DYK and they still ran it on mainpage with maintenance tags, DYK talk Was previously deleted, then recreated, still no reliable sources, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Black Eyed Kids (3rd nomination)
William S. Stevens; WP:Close paraphrasing and structure, SG talk discussion during RFA

Mutant Girls Squad, on mainpage but pulled by DYK as soon as I pointed it out, blatant plagiarism [1]
Steven Girvin, to be evaluated for close paraphrasing
Alladi Ramakrishnan, plagiarized and almost entirely based on an article written by his son (WP:V)
Mukta Barve, close paraphrasing, "lifetime of servitude to local deity", dubious sourcing
Seven Gates of Hell, close paraphrasing, main source can't be checked because subscription is required, but

"Others say that, completely unrelated to the asylum story, an eccentric physician who lived on the property built several gates along a path deep into the forest."

vs.

"to an eccentric local doctor who erected a large gate at the entrance to his property, and rumors sprang up that there was a series of gates beyond that one along a road leading deep into the woods"

from the second source, which is not reliable because it uses Wikipedia as a reference. On the main page now.

Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, on the main page now, main source is not a reliable source, also a commercial website, [2], entire paragraph is uncited. Completely plagiarized from that source. Pulled from the mainpage when I notified ANI. Checked two more DKYs from same editor, they don't use reliable sources, didn't check them for plagiarism.

My mistakes in my haste to evaluate (these were on the mainpage, leading me to act too quickly)

José Sisto, thought it was a BLP
Acheron class torpedo boat; did not find source, which turned out to be below the citation section
