General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Page started February 19, and nominated within seven days. Length is adequate, and article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism issues detected. No photo is used. QPQ is not required, as the nominator has no DYK credits. Sourcing needs a bit of work. All paragraphs should end with a citation. Please see "Background" and "Film style' sections. Also in the background section, a citation appears in the middle of the sentence, but not at the end? The birth date needs formatting as well. Please see {{Birth date and age}} for instructions. Because this is a biography, the hook wording should be clear that a bolded link is going to a biography, instead of an article on the channel. I have updated the wording, and posted as ALT1. Hook is cited properly and mentioned inline. Flibirigit (talk) 04:28, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

  • @Flibirigit: The nominator hasn't edited in over a week and never responded to the comments: in fact, they haven't edited the article in almost a month. Are you still willing to pass this and/or wait for the nominator, or should this be marked for closure? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:48, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
The nomination is very close to passing. It is best to wait, and hopefully someone will adopt it if the nominator does not return. Flibirigit (talk) 01:57, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
@Flibirigit: I can adopt this nom. I just owe you a few more refs, right?--- Coffeeandcrumbs 03:07, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Yes, just a few citations fixes, and the birthdate format. Thanks for adopting. Flibirigit (talk) 03:29, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Coffeeandcrumbs, thanks for the changes you have already made. If no cites can be found for the two citation needed tags, it's okay to remove the sentences in question. Please comment here when finished. Thanks again. Flibirigit (talk) 15:14, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
@Flibirigit: I think I am ready. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 11:41, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the changes and adopting. This nomination is now good to go. Flibirigit (talk) 15:15, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
