... that Giovanni Bonfanti scored his first professional goal on his European debut for Atalanta? Source: From la Repubblica and MondoPrimavera (both in Italian)
- ALT1: ... that Giovanni Bonfanti scored a goal on his debut in a European competition? Source: Same as per above
- ALT2: ... that Giovanni Bonfanti was in the starting formation for Atalanta Under-23 in their first ever official match? Source: From La Casa di C (in Italian)
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Critical Zone
- Comment: Just a few quick-fire facts about an article I've recently created. I double-checked all of the provided sources myself, although ALT1 might be slightly more accurate than ALT0, admittedly (since there's no clear mention of his first professional goal)... Moreover, I'm hoping to get my QPQ review over the line as soon as possible.

Created by Oltrepier (talk). Self-nominated at 11:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Giovanni Bonfanti; 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 compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - I need clarification on what MondoPrimavera is, since it seems like a fan blog more than a news organization.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

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

QPQ: Done.

Overall: ALT1 is the best of the bunch. Going to AGF on the Italian sources, but I'm not certain that MP is a reliable source. Sounder Bruce 05:55, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SounderBruce: So, MondoPrimavera is an independent online portal that focuses on Italian youth football, most specifically on national under-19 championships (the so-called "Campionato Primavera") and our youth national teams. I usually cite their articles as sources because they look pretty reliable to me: the portal is officially registered at the ordinary court in Prato; plus, they do have a proper editorial staff in place, and they usually cite their sources for transfer news and interviews, although they don't embed links to external sites (a problem that's very much common across the Italian media, unfortunately...). They also host opinion articles about the state of youth football that, of course, should always be taken with a pinch of salt; still, I think they're a trust-worthy outlet in most of the other cases.

Signing off on ALT1, though I am still not certain that MondoPrimavera is an appropriate RS. Sounder Bruce 02:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
