Comment: Mark Stanforth new, 1978 Chicago Marathon 5x expanded. Some overlapping content, but enough unique content in each article

5x expanded by Joseph2302 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:17, 13 July 2021 (UTC).[reply]

all looks good to me - the hook fact is cited in both articles, both qualify for DYK under the terms mentioned above, no prose issues or citations missing, and there's no copyright violation. Good work, thanks. — Amakuru (talk) 14:07, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
