Delanie Sheehan
- ... that last month, Delanie Sheehan (pictured) scored her first professional goal during Gotham FC's first NWSL postseason win? Source: ref16: "Gotham FC secured their first NWSL playoff win Sunday night ... Delanie Sheehan scored her first professional goal to put Gotham FC up 1-0."
- ALT1: ... that when Delanie Sheehan (pictured) scored her first goal as a professional last month, it was Gotham FC's first NWSL postseason goal? Source: ref17: "Gotham FC found the back of the net for the club’s first playoff goal in NWSL history ... The goal also marked Sheehan’s first professional career goal."

- Comment: Special occasion request take 2: I think this would be a good photo hook for November 11, the day of the 2023 NWSL Championship match, if Gotham gets there (again we'll know on Nov 5).
5x expanded by Hameltion (talk). Self-nominated at 22:15, 25 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Delanie Sheehan; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Anything is possible :-) Would you be happy to review one of the bios contained in Template:Did you know nominations/Vanessa Weenink? Schwede66 18:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, first up, this is general feedback outside of DYK requirements, i.e. if you don't want to action it, it won't affect this from proceeding. For a bio, there should always be a section that deals with a person's life outside of their professional career. This could be "Private life" or "Early life". That would give you a place where you could put birth date and birth place into prose. Write something about parents or siblings if that's known. Talk about schooling. And there's nothing wrong with mentioning her high school again in the section "Youth career".
Now to the DYK review. Newly expanded, sufficient prose added. Neutral. Suitably referenced. Comments on content are that the lead talks about her being a midfielder, but that doesn't match the content of the article. In the infobox under the "Senior career*" heading, I suggest you show the first year range as "2021–pres." as that is less confusing (I initially read the year of her Paris loan as the end year) and achieves compliance with MOS (see MOS:TOPRESENT). With regards to the career statistics, I can't figure out how the total relates to League, Cup, and Playoffs (if total is the sum of those three components, the numbers are wrong). The section on her international career is extremely short and I wonder whether it's worth adding that she appeared in two of the games played at that tournament? Earwig is clean. QPQ has been done. Of the offered hooks, ALT0 is more interesting, although it doesn't score very high on the interestingness scale TBH. The hook fact is verified. With regards to the special date request, the 2023 NWSL Championship match isn't even mentioned in the article (and that may be because we don't know whether Sheehan will play) and as such, it seems tenuous to me.

- @Schwede66: Thanks for the comprehensive look, and can do a literal quid pro quo. Applied all of your comments. A couple notes: No family details to add, haven't seen any mentioned. Wrongly assumed the statistics totals were coherent (not my addition) but have fixed now. Added slightly to International section, but took out unsourced number of caps from infobox. As for the WP:DYKSO: The article doesn't really have anything to say about the final before it happens, but I hope that's okay; the hook is partly about her team in these playoffs, and I'd just like to see it run on an apt date for that.

Good to go. Although I still can't reconcile the number of appearances for Gotham (35 in the infobox and 41 in the table), but that's not a DYK showstopper. @DYK admins: I leave the issue of special occasion request promotion to the promoting admin (we need one of those as it would be promotion straight to queue). Forgot to state that the photo license is suitable; it was taken by the nominator. Schwede66 20:35, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
