... that Bob Fernandez, one of the last known American survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor, was just 17 years old and serving as a mess cook in the United States Navy when the bombing happened?

QPQ: Done.

Overall: @Jolielover:, this one is currently circa 300 characters below the 1500 character requirement and needs expansion before it meets WP:DYKCRIT. I am also not entirely sure the hook is sufficiently interesting. 17 is young these days, but back then this was a common military age. I am simply not sure the subjects age or occupation is sufficiently interesting to meet this criteria. Overall you did well for your first nomination, but I'd want to see an expansion and also someone provide a second opinion before I passed this. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 01:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MaxnaCarta:, when I submitted this it was above the character limit but someone reverted my edit (mistakenly probably), I have added the information back. Personally, I think it's interesting given that one of the few survivors of the attack was only 17 but I understand the criticism.
