Overall: Great job! Most things check out. However, ALT1 uses Daily Mail as a source, which violates WP:RSP since consensus established this source is unreliable. There is a "citation needed" tag for his DOB, please address that too. I also noticed that Source #7 is dead. Could not find an archive for it. Would you be able to find a replacement (the archive is not a requirement for DYK). MX (✉ • ✎) 13:36, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
I've found a better source for ALT1 and updated the corresponding source for that portion of the article. I have removed the DOB from the article since I have misplaced the self-published source I had written down for that fact. As for source #7, it is really unfortunate that it has died after writing the article. Hopefully it will come back and I will be able to archive it. If not it will take a bit of time to replace it since it is referenced in multiple places. Derek M (talk) 15:47, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
Got it. Thank you for addressing the issues quickly. Everything else checks out. BTW, I recommend using IABot Management to archive your references once you're done writing an article. I also use WebCite and Archive.is. Link rot is one of our biggest problems on Wikipedia but it is often overlooked. Cheers, MX (✉ • ✎) 01:13, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
