5x expanded by TonyTheTiger (talk) and NOVAASA (talk). Nominated by TonyTheTiger (talk) at 23:50, 9 June 2015 (UTC).

@EricEnfermero and TonyTheTiger: Metro would not count as a RS. It is a tabloid newspaper of poor repute in the same family as the Daily Mail. However here is an alternative which specifies that he was the youngest winner in that category. [[1]] Cowlibob (talk) 21:54, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

  • Tony, there are too many "Tonys" in the hook :) Can you leave off the 69th Tony Awards? Yoninah (talk) 00:34, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:43, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Dates are good, length is fine, citations are plentiful, the hook fact is fun, factual, and directly cited with a reliable source. (I have a strong preference for the brevity of ALT2.) Tone is neutral and grammar is solid but there are instances of close paraphrasing that must be corrected before this can pass. - Dravecky (talk) 05:51, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

There are more examples but this sampling illustrates the nature of the issue. - Dravecky (talk) 05:51, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
