General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation

QPQ: No - Not done
Overall: What a great hook ALT1 is, I love it. Just a few small issues: "She died on September 9, 1962." needs a cite. ALT0 is not currently mentioned directly in the text, so that would need fixing or we can roll with ALT1. Also QPQ needs doing. Mujinga (talk) 17:12, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

  • @Mujinga: I've now done QPQ at Who Cares? (ballet). Death date citation is added, and text tweaked. Do you think ALT1 is the stronger hook? {{u|Sdkb}}talk 19:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
Sdkb Cool QPQ is done, death is cited. I definitely think ALT1 is more hooky, so we can proceed by either 1/ striking ALT0 or 2/ mentioning and citing ALT0 in the article, then I can approve both. Up to you! Mujinga (talk) 11:00, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
@Mujinga: Let's go with ALT1, then! {{u|Sdkb}}talk 16:00, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
cool, striking ALT0 and approving ALT1, image is relevant and appropriately licensed. Mujinga (talk) 21:26, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
