- ... that Ajah Pritchard-Lolo is Vanuatu's first Olympic weightlifter?
- Source: Vanuatu Daily Post says she's the first female weightlifter; however, as per Olympedia, the nation has never had a male weightlifter, thus she is the first regardless of gender

- @BeanieFan11: Please provide a QPQ as, per the ongoing discussion, consensus is leaning towards making QPQs mandatory at the time of the nomination and noms without QPQs may be closed without warning. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:51, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
Full review needed now that QPQ has been provided.--Launchballer 20:19, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
@BeanieFan11: Long enough, new enough, QPQ done. Hook's short enough, cited, and interesting (though if I had my druthers we'd be calling the Vanuatu Daily Post out on its blatant sexism!). Forgive my ignorance, but both the article and source claim Ajay won three silver and a bronze and both say "Snatch, Clean & Jerk and total", even though these are three events. Do you mean "snatch, clean, jerk, and total" or something else? I see no further reason why this might deserve a maintenance template.--Launchballer 18:11, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- On a further look, I'm confused by this as well. There are three different events in weightlifting, the 'snatch', total, and the 'clean and jerk'; clean and jerk are not separate as far as I'm aware. We have an article on Weightlifting at the 2023 Pacific Games: it lists Pritchard-Lolo as having won medals in the three events – two silver (snatch, total) and a bronze (clean & jerk). Leaning towards changing it to that per this source from the competition. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:22, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
- Good idea.--Launchballer 11:14, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Assuming I was right a week and a half ago, this should be good to go.--Launchballer 19:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Ni-Van
editThe lead-off says she is Ni-Vanuatu , but the biography relates that her father was Samoan and her mother was mixed Samoan and European. That is not Ni Van. That term describes the indigenous natives of Vanuatu. She must be Vanuatuan. A non-native inhabitant. 70.106.197.146 (talk) 20:34, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
