General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

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

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Earwig's Copyvio detector shows a match of 28.1%, but the site in question states "Text taken from Wikipedia". I prefer the original hook to ALT1, but both are OK. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:52, 25 July 2022 (UTC) Thomas H. White and Sammi Brie: Not sure if I'm just missing something obvious, but what in the body supports the lead's "At the time of its deletion, KUSD was the oldest broadcasting station in the state of South Dakota" and "it was the predecessor to the present radio service of South Dakota Public Broadcasting."? Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:09, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BennyOnTheLoose: Added a ref and a ref invoke in the lead to resolve this. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:30, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie: MOS:INTRO says that "Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article." Ideally, I think the cited info from the lead should be repeated, with the citations, in the body, and then the citations taken out of the lead. But happy to discuss if you disagree.

@BennyOnTheLoose: Moved one out but kept the other which I feel is merited and would be awkward to shove in prose the way it's configured. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:51, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
