- Article looks good -- created within the window, long enough and generally in a good state. All statements are sourced and I can see no BLP or copyvio issues: the article does err on the positive side, and there might be some relevancy questions about e.g. the volume of his notes or his high-school disciplinary record, but none which represent serious problems or should prevent a DYK appearance. I do however think that His 2018 interview with Quincy Jones, in which the subject ... revealed an affair between Marlon Brando and Richard Pryor, went viral on social media needs a rephrase: revealed means that it was absolutely factual, whereas it seems that the claim is far more contentious and a serious matter to at least one living person. It hardly needs saying that ALT0 is the stronger hook: there's a WP:SELFPUB question-mark over it that would be solved by changing it to "once claimed to have..." or similar.

In regards to the Brando/Pryor sentence, let me know if the phrasing (alluded to an alleged affair) looks more solid — I also added another reference to substantiate the whole topic a bit.

- @Hey man im josh: Looking at the link, I see Wojciechowicz (1), Graham (2), Tittle (3), Karras (4), B. Sanders (5), Johnson (6), Stanfel (7), Biletnikoff (8), Barney (9), Lary (10), C. Sanders (11), Christiansen (12), Schmidt (13), Speedie (14) and Creekmur (15). Am I missing something? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- @BeanieFan11: Looks like it was me who was missing something. I believe I accidently counted Doak Walker, who wasn't actually drafted by the Lions. I've updated this nom and the article appropriately. I also updated the DYK statement's wikilinking (but not the wording outside of the number of players).

Kēkerengū[edit]
- ... that the sheep-herding founder of Kekerengu in New Zealand became an international fugitive?
Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:09, 28 May 2024 (UTC).
- Article was moved to mainspace on the 28th, so is new enough. At over 3000 characters, it is long enough. In-line citations are properly used, the article reads neutrally, and the copyvio detector found no issues. The hook is neutral, interesting, and cited in-line in the article. The QPQ has been done. Looks good to go! SilverserenC 23:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

- Article seems in good enough shape. Hook is interesting, and although I am limited to English, the news article seems to directly confirm the hook even without knowledge of Indonesian. No evidence of copyvio, fully sourced, and the hook fact is correctly cited in-article. Just needs that QPQ. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 03:32, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Charleen Kinser[edit]
- ... that a mail-order catalogue offered a "Rocking Ram" toy designed by Charleen Kinser for $1600 in 1985?
- Source: Gilman-Tompkins, Sherri (8 May 1985). "Tiniest Yuppies Treated Royally in this Catalogue". Chicago Tribune – via ProQuest.
Take the $1,600 Rocking Ram by Forever Toys, which will be available in the next catalogue. The animal's fleece is made of three types of sheepskin, hand pieced and stitched.

- Interesting enough — it might be good to include a conversion template for readers unaware of what $1600 means in an 1980s US context, but I don't think this is strictly required. Hook does check out with the source, and the article is long enough, eligible, and fully cited. I don't see any evidence of copyvio. Looks good to go.

- GA status confirmed as recent (May 29, 2024). Size, hook, etc. all GTG. I wonder if a more interesting hook could be made, for example about anorexia?. I'd be happy to review a more interesting hook if any are proposed. Ping Riley1012. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:38, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
