Well-written

• I would add her DOB to the first sentence of "Early life and education", so that you don't have to source it in the infobox.
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Link "drag" (and depending on your stance towards MOS:DUPLINK delink it in the "Career" section)
  •  Done Linked first appearance in article body ("Early life and education") ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Melendez is a drag performer who competed as Madame LaQueer on season 4 of the American television series RuPaul's Drag Race. — I would clarify that this took place around 2011—12
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• the WWE-inspired drag wrestling challenge — "the show's WWE-inspired"
  • I've clarified that the second episode was WWE-inspired. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• (alongside Chad Michaels) — a tie, or as a duo? (it seems to be the latter, I would rephrase this)
  • Changed "alongside" to "tied with". ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• I would delink "single"
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Link "grand marshal"
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• the beauty department at a — change "at" to "of"
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• Link "came out"
  •  Done ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• A couple words on what a "drag daughter" entails? Although, I'd understand if you can't make it work.
  • Generally speaking, "drag mothers" are mentors of "drag daughters", teaching the art of drag to the next generation. I've added "(or mentees)" as helpful context. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    • I like the change! Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:20, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
• In the external links, update the IMDb name.
  • Good catch! The name change was very recent. :) ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Verifiable with no original research

Most sources are reliable. Refs 2 and 7 are fine in their use as primary sources. WP:VG/S calls Screen Rant marginally reliable, but I'll allow it as it's not being used for controversial info. Earwig shows an absurdly low score of 6%. I've added a few more params to the sources, but otherwise:

• Refs 19 and 21 are the same
  • I think you've addressed the duplicate ref? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Whoops! They are different, they just looked very similar at a glance. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:20, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Broad in its coverage

A short article, but the sources are often brief, so it does a nice job pulling them together.

• To cover all bases, perhaps a sentence about her music ventures? I couldn't find anything other than the Queerty source, but using it, perhaps: "She has also produced mixes for fashion shows, pageants, and talent shows."
  • If there were more sourcing about music, I'd agree, but in this case I don't think it's a defining thing to add about her because of limited coverage. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    • I think that's reasonable Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:20, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Summary

This article is so charming, it's something you really only see in short GANs. Just the variety, the images, the GoDaddy website. I love it! Averageuntitleduser (talk) 18:41, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

@Averageuntitleduser Thank you for reviewing! I believe I've addressed your concerns so far. I'll see if you add any other concerns based on the spot-check, or otherwise. I've got 6 or so similar bios for drag performers at GAN, if you're interested, otherwise thanks again for taking time to review! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

@Another Believer: Just that one Twitch sentence, and I think that's it! And I've got my eyes on those other bios, I'd be happy to give them a spin as well. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

@Averageuntitleduser  Done Thanks again! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
