General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - ?
  • Interesting: No - ?
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article was created February 21, and nominated within seven days. Length and sourcing are adequate. No plagiarism was detected. No images are used in the article. The QPQ requirement is complete. I have two minor concerns. The phrase, "When she discovered that she was innately as flexible as the performers in a Cirque du Soleil video", seems promotional and should be simplified. The wording "people sometimes wonder" in the hook, does not have the same meaning as "despite the common rumor", which appears in the article. A more similar wording is needed for verification. Overall the article is in decent condition and a welcome nomination for DYK. Flibirigit (talk) 23:32, 5 March 2023 (UTC) Flibirigit (talk) 23:32, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Flibirigit. Did some rewording. As for the hook, the sources definitely support "people sometimes wonder", but that sort of wording feels more hooky than traditionally encyclopedic, and I think the word "rumor" is a fair enough way to restate that.

Actually might prefer "speculation" for the body, changed to that. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 02:39, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
I am aware of the above comments and will follow up later today or tomorrow. Flibirigit (talk) 16:52, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Improvements noted. ALT0 is hooky, mentioned in the article with different but similar enough wording to the hook, and verified by the sources. Nomination adheres to all other DYK criteria as per first review. Flibirigit (talk) 22:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks again for the review and helpful input. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 22:30, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
