New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out. No textual issues in Earwig. Looks good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:40, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. Striking ALT0 per WP:CRYSTALBALL; companies announce "plans" all the time that they may or may not end up fulfilling. Also, DYK is not a platform for corporate announcements per WP:NOTPROMO. But ALT1 seems ok since it's a verifiable fact that is true today. Cielquiparle (talk) 08:10, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
Redlink for Jimmy Finkelstein
editI do think that Finkelstein is notable, and that we should include a link per WP:REDYES, which says that we should [c]reate red links whenever a non-existent article with more information would help a reader understand the content of the article in which the red link will appear
. I don't understand why the redlink is being removed; that we still need to write an article on the guy isn't a reason to remove the redlink. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Pinging Dissident93, since we've been going back-and-forth on this. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:28, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Are there plans to create an article soon? If not, then there isn't really any point in keeping a redlink. I'm not arguing that he doesn't deserve one. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 21:37, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- The point of a redlink is so that someone goes and creates it eventually, not that an article is immediately forthcoming. I've been busy recently, and so haven't been able to get to it, but a start-class bio shouldn't be too hard to write this weekend. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 13:31, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
