• @Piotrus: New enough and barely long enough. I cannot see all of the book preview pages (I see 1 of 2 and it's not containing the hook info) so I must AGF on the source. There is a {{cn}} at the end of the main biography paragraph that needs addressing, and you need a QPQ. Raymie (t • c) 03:35, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

• • I did a QPQ, guess I forgot to save it here: Template:Did you know nominations/Betty Flint. As for the cite needed, I was hoping a Japanese editor could help verify it, I can't find an English-language source, and it is one of the more interesting facts about this bio IMHO. I posted on WT:JAPAN but to no avail. I guess it can be blanked for the duration of the DYK process and restored afterwards... --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here}

• @Piotrus: That will be necessary to get this through, though certainly it'd be worth researching with the right resources. Raymie (t • c) 20:30, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

• It's long enough, I'm not thrilled with the hook. So, why does it matter that he disappeared when he did? I don't think the cn on his enshrinement is a dealbreaker. --evrik ^(talk) 18:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
  • @Evrik: I couldn't think of a more interesting one. I've commented out the sentence about the shrine, I can't find a ref for it, and no Japanese speaker seems interested to help, through I still think it would make for an intersting hook. The only other hook I can think of is that he appeared in anime. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:32, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

• • ALT2:... that Japanese fighter ace Naoshi Kanno (pictured), credited with 25 confirmed kills, appears in anime Drifters?
    • I'm good with 1a. Everything else looks good as well. --evrik ^(talk) 15:53, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
