General eligibility:
New enough:
Long enough:
Other problems: - Just realised that this article was previously a bold link at "In the news" making this inelgible per WP:DYKCRIT 1D.

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - I do have a question over the accuracy of the hook (and I suppose by extension the related statement in the article). In the source, Crutcher is quoted claiming to be the only female songwriter. However, Ace Records says Bettye Crutcher was not the first female song writer at Stax – Carla Thomas and Deanie Parker, for example, beat her to that particular punch. Would it be more accurate to says she was the only female staff songwriter? Or that she claimed to be the only female songwriter?

QPQ: Done.

Overall: ~~Minor question over the hook. Once this is seen to it should be good to go.~~ See above. Vladimir.copic (talk) 00:34, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Vladimir.copic:, the article is still eligible because it's not a bold link in a blurb at ITN. "Recent deaths" are still eligible for DYK. I'm okay with saying "staff songwriter" for clarification. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:46, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Sorry - didn't realise it wasn't a bold link. Happy to approve with these changes to the hook. Vladimir.copic (talk) 00:58, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
