- Reviewed: Looking for a multicredit review. I'll try to watch for a new one. I hate doing these and might as well do more than one at a time. This is the first time I could not find a multi.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:55, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 04:05, 20 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Lia Lewis; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

QPQ pending. Article otherwise new and long enough and doesn't have copyvio, hook isn't super explicitly stated but quite clear in the article, verified in source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juxlos (talk • contribs) 09:13, February 20, 2023 (UTC)-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 19:53, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

there you go with the QPQ. Juxlos (talk) 10:08, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Juxlos and TonyTheTiger: The article is classified as a stub and DYK does not accept stubs. I will change the classification to "start" so that we can proceed. I think the two low quality references: Moonbug Entertainment and Red Bull are probably ok as used in the article. Bruxton (talk) 17:03, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Juxlos and Bruxton: I just added an infobox. I don't know if that makes it more starty than stubby.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article was above the 1,500 mark, so the stub was more a categorization issue, IMO. Juxlos (talk) 00:30, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Juxlos, just making sure people think the infobox looks O.K. for the main page since it was a late add.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2022 World Championship

This source claims she won a 2022 World Championship. I can not find any other sources to corroborate this. I believe that there are 3 possibilities:

The Championship was minor.
She did not win a 2022 championship but by late 2022 when she was the current champion, someone assumed she had won the championship in 2022. Thus, the Championship that we already know about from November 2021 was misreported as a 2021 championship.
She did not win a 2022 championship and someone claimed she did without thinking a would try to hard to verify such a claim.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 05:22, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2024 World Championship

She has claimed a third place finish per her own instagram.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:10, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
