  • Gerda Arendt The biggest problem that I see is that much of the article is sourced to an unreliable personal website that was made with Google Sites. This link shows that the owner is Paul Carosi, but I am unable to find any proof that he is a professional in the music field. Ancestry is not considered a reliable source because it can be edited by anyone. SL93 (talk) 02:50, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
  • The writings from Paul Carosi are actually acceptable. I will finish the review now. SL93 (talk) 02:52, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
  • The article is long enough and new enough. The article has no copyright violations. The hook is directly cited and A QPQ has completed. There is only one issue - Ancestry is an unreliable source. SL93 (talk) 02:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
    Thank you for looking deeper than had time for. Patience please. In memoriam. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:54, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
    • You're welcome. I was never impatient either. SL93 (talk) 09:37, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
      SL93, now I had time to look. The difference that site makes is a day and month for her marriage, - the person and the year are covered by other sources. Now how crucial is it if that date is reliable or not? If it matters we can remove it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
      • Gerda Arendt I would just have the article state the person/year and then source the information with a different source. SL93 (talk) 20:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
        done --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:21, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  • This is ready. SL93 (talk) 22:23, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, and did some editing to align with the sources on her birthdate. Please add page numbers for the book refs. Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
    Sorry, I can't help with the book. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:08, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • @SL93: this has come up on other reviews and is not nitpicking; There is a reasonable expectation that an article—even a short one—that is to appear on the front page should appear to be complete... (Rule D7). You may bring this up at WT:DYK if you'd like. Yoninah (talk) 21:18, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah Great, but I believe it is nitpicking and I believe in Ignore All Rules also per it being a minor issue and a new editor. Hopefully the new editor adds the page numbers when they didn't participate in the DYK. SL93 (talk) 21:20, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Yoninah I saw that page numbers were added for everything except for the November 6 date. Maybe just remove the date? SL93 (talk) 23:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • @SL93: You could, or you could say what the source says. Footnote 6 says the winter season. Yoninah (talk) 23:49, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: Ok. I think that part is done. SL93 (talk) 23:51, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
  • Restoring my own tick per page numbers being added. Consensus on the DYK talk page is that page numbers aren’t required anyway. SL93 (talk) 18:33, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
