The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
Overall: QPQ not neccessary as it is the editor's first nomination. Article is new enough and long enough, neutral and plagiarism free and it is thoroughly referenced (apart from one - if you could just add a reference there that would be great). Hook is OK, but I wonder if there's something a bit hookier to catch attention? Maybe something that reflects her really wide range of interests? It was really interesting to read about her extraordinary life - thanks for the work you've done to share her life! Lajmmoore (talk) 10:04, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator hasn't edited since the day of the nomination and didn't respond to Lajmmoore's talk page message on January 29th. If the nominator doesn't return, hopefully someone can adopt the nomination because it would be a shame if the nom has to be failed.

Okay, what I found is that her papers (which date is confirmed by passport records) show her birth date. A newspaper clipping says she grew up in society and was a debutante. I think that takes care of the uncited stuff. Ping me if you need anything else. As for a hook, possibly: SusunW (talk) 19:05, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
