• ... that voice actress Emi Shinohara and her Sailor Moon co-star Rika Fukami were born on the same date? Source: 先述の梨加さんと恵美さんの誕生日は生年月日が同じく8月8日。あまりにもわかりやすいし、ご本人たちもバースデーコンサートを大々的に開催したものだから、その日が来ると今でも自然にお祝い電話をしてしまいます。/The aforementioned Rika and Emi were both born on August 8th. It's easy to tell, and they even held a big birthday concert together. + 2人はともに1963年8月8日生まれ。同じ生年月日ということから、平成8年8月8日に一夜限りのデュオ「FUNKY TWINS」を結成、生誕祭を開催している。/Both were born on August 8, 1963. As they share the same birthday, they formed a one-night-only duo called "FUNKY TWINS" on August 8, 1996, and held a birthday celebration.

  • Comment: Expanded from 498 last week to 3686 today. She was on the main page, but only as a blurbless RD item. I had a feeling this would make a great hook. I'm not sure I can expand the Fukami article enough though since I'm busy nowadays.

5x expanded by Miraclepine (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 58 past nominations.

• I'm getting slightly different numbers than stated in the nom, but either way, ignoring the list which seems correct, this is more than x5 expansion. QPQ done. No copyvio identified in English source checks, and article is presentable.
  The cited source for "Shinohara was born in Fukushima Prefecture" states she was born in Nagano Prefecture. Discography could be mentioned in the lead.
  Hook is sourced and in the article. Some work has started on Rika Fukami, happy to hold if that will also expand. CMD (talk) 08:39, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

• @Chipmunkdavis: Done and done; English-language sources like ANN tends to conflate 出生 (birthplace) and 出身 (place of origin), so I've noted that Fukushima is most commonly cited in RS as the birthplace. I'm very busy with school, but I have no problem with Fukami on the off-chance I am able to expand that (assuming the deadline is 9/22). ミラP@Miraclepine 14:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

• This should be good to go then, but will leave on hold, feel free to ping me later. CMD (talk) 15:58, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

For what it's worth, the original hook is probably better than ALT1. ALT1 just seems too complicated and distracts from the actual interesting fact (that they were born on the same date). Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:46, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
