In the past seven days the article was created, its readable prose was expanded at least fivefold, it was a previously unsourced biography of a living person (BLP) with its readable prose expanded at least twofold, or it was listed as a good article. It hasn't been featured on the Main Page's In the news section and hasn't previously appeared as a "qualifying article" in an earlier DYK. It contains at least 1,500 characters of readable prose and is not be a stub. The hook fact(s) is stated in the article, and is immediately followed by an inline citation to a reliable source. The article in general uses inline cited sources. Sources are properly labelled in a references section and the references do not have bare URLs. Any direct quotations have been marked as such and cited to a reliable source. The article contains no dispute templates. The article does not violate Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people. The article does not contain plagiarism or close paraphrasing. The article deals with the subject in a neutral manner. The hook is properly formatted and is shorter than about 200 characters. The hook does not have neutrality problems or undue emphasis on a negative aspect of a living individual. There is no image. The hooky is probably just about hooky enough personally I would have gone with something about beating out 3,000 people to sing the national anthem but thats Cunard's choice.©Geni (talk) 02:55, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
