... that Leilani Tominiko (aka Candy Lee) was New Zealand's first openly transgender professional wrestler? Source: "New Zealand's first professional transgender wrestler thinks the sky is the limit" (https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/nzs-first-pro-transgender-wrestler-aiming-high/EWY3SNDXRD7S3WCOKGRRSHPK5A/)

Created by Summ23 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:36, 11 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Leilani Tominiko; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, sourced, neutral and is plagiarism free. The hook is cited and interesting as stands. I wonder if it could be made "hookier" by referring to Candy Crush somehow? There's one citation missing, which I marked in the article, it would be great if you can fix it Summ23. Since it's their first DYK nomination, no QPQ is required. Really great to see Tominiko featured. Lajmmoore (talk) 11:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lajmmoore: "how about ALT1: Did you know that New Zealand wrestler Leilani Tominiko (a.k.a. Candy Lee) has a signature move called the Candy Crush?" --Summ23 (talk) 01:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Summ23 that's great! Please could you format it on the line below this, following the format in the one at the top? So with the ... and with the terms in bold/linked that you'd like to see? It helps the person after me, who promotes the hook forward to see what to include. Lajmmoore (talk) 08:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lajmmoore: Is this ready to be approved? If not, what else needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 02:25, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Z1720, thanks for the reminder! I'll look at this now Lajmmoore (talk) 08:47, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

all good Lajmmoore (talk) 08:51, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lajmmoore, Z1720, and Summ23: Sadly the article is 1493 characters. One of our requirements is at least 1,500. Can you add anything to the article? If you can address this I will promote it. Lightburst (talk) 15:40, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Summ23: Per the above, I suggest finding more sources with information to add to the article, or expanding the lede so that it more effectively summarises the article. Z1720 (talk) 16:50, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Z1720, Lightburst I've added a few words here and there and added to the lead. If someone could re-check the word count, that would be great. Lajmmoore (talk) 13:13, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
