Created by Edwardx (talk). Self-nominated at 23:24, 13 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Cicely Hilda Farmer; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Sorry, but this feels like an incomplete draft rather than an article ready for the front page. There are several issues that combined mean a substantial portion of the article would need to be reworked:
  • In its present state, the article does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. Of the nine sources, seven have only brief mentions of Farmer, one is offline but appears to be a brief mention, and one is a review of one of her books. That doesn't constitute significant coverage.
  • I assume that her notability would be as a writer, but the only mention of her writing in the prose is mentioning a book being reviewed. That seems like a critical portion of the article that's missing - see WP:DYKCOMPLETE.
  • Several phrases are copied from source 1
  • Other issues with article quality include uncited statements, acronym introduced without definition, and a self-published blog as a source.

Additionally, QPQ has not been completed a week after this article was nominated. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

• Thank you, Pi.1415926535. Have been ill and not had much time for Wikipedia. The QPQ has been finished. An "incomplete draft" is a fair assessment. The offline sources should be out there to demonstrate notability, but I just do not have the time to dig deeper, so will drop this nom and save the QPQ for some future DYK nom.
