  • . The article is new (created on 10 June) and long enough. The article is about a talented personality. However, I am not convinced that the article meets WP:BIO, because it is almost fully based on a single article in a local newspaper. I suggest that more reliable sources should be cited to show that those criteria are met. The hook fact is accompanied by an inline citation to a collection of Eddington's own papers ([1]). I think the fact should be verified by an independent (reliable) source. Borsoka (talk) 11:38, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Borsoka The article actually relies on two newspaper articles for the information. The first hook is cited in the article by one of those newspapers. As for the second hook, I have provided another citation to the statement that he designed the hymnbook. The information about Monson commissioning the book was found in his personal correspondence, which I personally read. I also believe that the collection of Eddington's papers is a reliable source. They contain letters and correspondence papers that would be hard to imitate or exaggerate. And they are owned by Brigham Young University.Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 19:25, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
  • . Thank you for your message. I found the verification for both hooks in the second newspaper cited. No copyvio or close paraphrasing was detected. Borsoka (talk) 02:32, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

@Amgisseman(BYU), Borsoka, and 97198: I have pulled this from prep because of sourcing including what is cited for the hook. Two of the sources listed are Box 3, E. Keith Eddington papers, stored at the Brigham Young University. This is WP:NOR original research, that has not been published but is stored in a box at a university repository. You really need to be able to source the article and the hook with published Tertiary sources.— Maile (talk) 20:04, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

— Maile If I remove the information from those sources, will the article qualify for DYK? Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your quick response. A new review by a new reviewer would be needed to verify that it passes DYK. — Maile (talk) 20:14, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
  • The sources were removed, and the article is ready for a new reviewer. Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:24, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
  • New review needed now that two sources have been removed. — Maile (talk) 20:31, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Both hooks are well-referenced to reliable sources and this nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:28, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
