Overall: The article appears to be a translation of the equivalent article on the Spanish Wikipedia. The article body is mostly a list of Mouton's jobs and projects, and does not describe what her work actually is or what her work has accomplished in her field. Wikipedia is not a professional profile; several sentences are unencyclopedic, self-serving, or trivial, such as:

"Daughter of the philologist Valentín García Yebra, for whose legacy she is responsible ..."
" García Mouton has affirmed the importance of philology, the continuing relevance of a number of studies published in the RFE decades ago, and the role of the media in preserving linguistic correctness ..."
" She also stated that she would fail a university student who frequently makes spelling mistakes."

The lead is too long and should be reorganised into the article body. The contradictions of MOS:LEAD are one of many glaring WP:MOS issues that the article has at present.

In regard to the hook, I think it is borderline interesting to a general audience because of the project rather than the subject of the nomination itself. I'd imagine other reviewers or promoters may have more of an issue with the hook, as it is basically a promotion for the project itself, source included. I.e. "Did you know that this person is working on this project? Source: The project website."

I think the subject of the article and the project she co-directs are interesting, but the article and hook need serious work. I would suggest to the nominator that they work on the article substantially and renominate it for DYK after-the-fact. Yue🌙 03:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
