Gambian Paralympic athlete Isatou Nyang

... that after the Paralympics, Gambian athlete Isatou Nyang (pictured) continued to train at night, and during the day she would beg to support herself? Source: "You are strongly encouraged to quote the source text supporting each hook" (and [link] the source, or cite it briefly without using citation templates)
- ALT1:... that after Isatou Nyang (pictured) became the most successful Gambian Paralympian ever, she begged to feed her family?

I will do a full review of this later today, but initial comment is that the URL for the reference "Team Gambia - Profile | Tokyo 2020 Paralympics" doesn't work. Victuallers please can this link be fixed? Joseph2302 (talk) 11:18, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

thank you. The ref link is fixed. Victuallers (talk) 11:54, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

? One more article issue: Isatou Nyang says that in the 2020 Paralympics, only one athlete, Fatou Sanneh, was sent to represent the Gambia. But this isn't in the source at the end of the paragraph, and is contradicted by The Gambia at the 2020 Summer Paralympics, which says that Malang Tamba competed (and source for his result is [1]). Please can this be corrected?
Y Article is long enough (2158 characters), new enough (created 30 August, nominated 1 September) and apart from the issue listed above, the article is within policy. Coverage shows the article passes WP:GNG
? In ALT0, continued to train at night is not mentioned in the article, which is required for the hook by criteria 3a of the DYK rules. As it's sourced by [2], just need to add that bit of text to the article. ALT1 is well sourced, interesting and in the article. It is currently correct, but there is a possibility that it could become incorrect (as Gambian athletes have 2 more events this Paralympics where they could do better than Nyang did in 2012). Nevertheless, once ALT0 issue is fixed, I am happy to approve both hooks (and if ALT1 does become superceded, then we won't use it)
Y Image is freely licenced (the Youtube video source has a CC licence listed), is in the article, and looks good at low resolution
Y QPQ done
Victuallers a couple of minor things highlighted above, once fixed I can approve this.

Thanks @Joseph2302: good points. I have addressed both of them I think. Thanks for the review. I should point out that even if someone other Parlympian wins a gold medal then Alt1 will still be true. The hook doesn't claim that she is now the most successful, but that after she became the most successful something happened. Its not necessary that she still is "the most successful" for the hook to be true. Victuallers (talk) 21:59, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Y Article with the issue has now been fixed
Y Both hooks are now short enough, in the article, well sourced and interesting enough. ALT1 is true even if someone has broken the record, it's still correct (though does look like neither athlete has I think)
This nomination now passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:52, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
