  • ... that Janet Panetta, who started dancing as physical therapy for childhood polio, would go on to teach dance all over Europe, becoming a "launchpad" for many dancers including Jérôme Bel?
  • Source: "Janet Panetta, who overcame childhood polio to become a dancer with American Ballet Theater, a performer in New York’s thriving downtown modern dance scene and a revered ballet teacher, died on Saturday in Brooklyn. She was 74."

"The French choreographer Jérôme Bel, also interviewed by The Times in 2010, said of Ms. Panetta, “If a dancer would be a rocket, she would be a launchpad.” He was her student at the National Center of Contemporary Dance in France, where she was the founding ballet teacher in the early 1980s. “Not telling you where to go, just giving you confidence in the universe,” he said."

  • I'd actually focus on the childhood polio aspect rather than the launchpad aspect given that's a much more surprising fact and already works by itself. The current hook seems too complicated as is compared to the shorter option. Thus:
ALT1 ... that Janet Panetta started dancing as physical therapy for childhood polio?
@Thriley and DaffodilOcean: Thoughts on the simplified hook? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:24, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment - the new hook is fine by me, though I welcome @Thriley:'s thoughts as they made the nomination. DaffodilOcean (talk) 15:31, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

 Reviewing... Flibirigit (talk) 20:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC) General eligibility:

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article was moved to the mainspace on August 18, and nominated on August 27. Therefore it was 9 days old when nominated, which is outside of the required timeline of 7 days. Was there any previous discussion of allowing a longer timeline? Otherwise, length and sourcing are adequate. The article is neutral in tone. Plagiarism issues were cleaned up in the draft stage, but there still appears to be close paraphrasing here. ALT0 is a long and clunky hook that depends on the reader knowing Jérôme Bel. ALT1 is a better hook, shorter and interesting. It is cited and mentioned in the article, and verified by the source. There are no images used in the article, and the QPQ requirement is complete.

  • I know this was a later nomination. In my opinion it was nominated within an acceptable window. I am happy to make a formal request if necessary. This nom was done largely out of my gratitude for DaffodilOcean's work in cleaning up the draft. Thriley (talk) 02:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
  • @Flibirigit: I have cleaned up the close paraphrasing. The rest of the flagged items appear to be quotes and proper names. Thriley (talk) 02:21, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
    Placing nomination on hold until feedback is received at WT:DYK on whether to allow the nine-day timeframe. Pinging me is not necessary. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 11:36, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
