... that the winner of the seventeenth series of Britain's Got Talent is the first credited woman to win the show without a dog? Source: https://www.whattowatch.com/news/britains-got-talent-winners-629519
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Peewee Jarrett
- Comment: Drive-by nomination, as it's been around 6.875 days since this was converted from a redirect and I want to get this in under the wire. I have a small amount of work to do, starting with the excision of those ugly WP:CLUMPs. Note that I've included 'credited' because, as can quite clearly be seen in the image in the cited source, series 4 winners Spelbound also contained women. Also noting that the majority of this article was created by an IP.

Created by Launchballer (talk). Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 234 past nominations.

Review: Newly expanded article from a redirect meeting the required length size of prose. BLP is notable to exist as a standalone article now passing WP:ARTIST. No apparent copyvios. QPQ done. Rest article seems fine. Problem comes with only the fact that this is a synthesis and hence not perfectly verifiable. Do we have any another source mentioning her to be the first woman winner without a dog? Or else, do we have anything else from the article to a new hook? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:52, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's in HuffPost, which I've added back to the article.--Laun chba ller 08:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great! All set to go. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure what "credited" means in the hook. Were the women of Attraction (group) (series 7) not credited Launchballer? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Their names don't appear in the act's name in the same way that, say, Ashleigh appears in Ashleigh and Pudsey.--Laun chba ller 00:46, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "credited" can be used that way. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 09:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see that source. Googling 'credit define' gives one definition of 'publicly acknowledge a contributor's role in the production of (something published or broadcast)' - is there not a similar definition in the OED source? And if not, how would you convey this information? (HuffPost, the piece used in the article, says "the only solo woman to ever triumph on BGT without the aid of a dog sidekick", but I would argue that "Ashleigh and Pudsey" is quite clearly a double act.)--Laun chba ller 10:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could we not say "first individual woman" or something? I agree that "first credited woman" reads oddly here. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 06:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
