Created by Nikkimaria (talk). Self nominated at 05:33, 10 January 2014 (UTC).
Article is new and long enough at 1851 bytes of prose. It is written neutrally and complies with BLP. The hook is properly formatted and fewer than 200 characters. Offline sources accepted in good faith. QPQ has been done. No copyvios or close paraphrasing were detected. Original hook is preferred over ALT1, due partly to the use of 'claim' (see WP:CLAIM).
- @Nikkimaria: It might be worth noting that while the suit may have been dismissed, it was also settled out of court, at least according to her interview on CKUT. Gobōnobō + c 08:10, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- Understood. "Claim" was deliberate, simply because of the nature of the source - I haven't found anything independent of the autobiography to confirm it. But using the original is fine, and I've added the CKUT source. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:41, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
