Overall: 
ALT0 is not supported by the source. It mentions a young girl but not that she was unnamed. ALT1 is supported by the sources. I think it's more interesting than ALT0. As a side note: this is my first DYK review so it might be good for a more experienced reviewer to take a look. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:28, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- More experienced reviewer here. You should have investigated whether the nominator requires a QPQ. (On this occasion, I corrected Onegreatjoke's malformed nom, so it said that was me, even though it was not, which I've now corrected.)--Launchballer 13:45, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing this out. I had assumed that Onegreatjoke had done the nomination and review for your sake but it would probably have been better to inquiry than to assume. Phlsph7 (talk) 14:35, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Any progress on the sources? Or should we go with ALT1? Phlsph7 (talk) 07:24, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- unsure on how to fix the sourcing issue. Maybe we could go for alt1 but i'm unsure. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:37, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- ALT1 is fine in terms of sourcing. However, since the article refers often to "Girl", I'm not sure that it fulfills the adequate-sourcing-requirement. But my experience with DYK is still rather limited. If you are also unsure then it may be better to let the application fail. What are your thoughts? Phlsph7 (talk) 17:51, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
I think i'll just withdraw. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:04, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
