Created by Joseph2302 (talk). Self-nominated at 12:37, 19 June 2016 (UTC).
The article is new enough, having been both created and nominated yesterday, so the first criterion is satisfied. It is barely long enough, with 1653 characters by my count, so the second criterion is satisfied (just). The article is properly sourced and free of problems concerning copyright. But I am concerned about the neutrality of the article. Whilst I am not questioning the neutrality of the author, most of the text at the current point in time seems to deal with complaints about her work. It would be good if the biography could be expanded more to cover more of her life before taking on her current job. There are also some errors, for example discrepancy between the text and infobox on when she took the job. Both hooks are suitable, although the ALT1 is more interesting. Finally QPQ has been met by the nominator.
- In summary, I think it would be good if the biography could be expanded more. Then I would be happy to give it a tick of approval. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 08:14, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- Athomeinkobe Thank you for your comments. The infobox was a mistake (I copied the infobox from another article, and didn't change the date), and has been fixed. I've increased the article to around 2,400 characters, adding things about her before she joined Charlton. I'm still looking to see if there's more, but I think it's more NPOV now. It's difficult because a lot of the coverage about her is related to protests against her as Charlton CEO. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:52, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your prompt attention Joseph2302. I think that's much better. One final point - the BBC article from September 2014 (reference [4]) describes her as a 30-year-old. So that would mean she was born in either 1983 or 1984. I think including an approximate age would help. I know there's a template that can be used for a "circa" birthdate but can't remember what it is. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:02, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
