Created by Elisa.rolle (talk). Self-nominated at 12:22, 18 August 2017 (UTC).

  • @Elisa.rolle: Just a comment: I've noticed that a lot of the hooks you've nominated are about the subject's family members. In my opinion (and I'm sure many others) we should be highlighting facts about the subject, not their semi-notable relatives. Is there nothing interesting about Una Winter, or is her brother (who does not even have a Wikipedia article) the most interesting thing in her article? 97198 (talk) 05:46, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
  • 97198: "She was president of the Southern District, California Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. She enjoyed the distinction in 1928 of being the first executive to fly to a convention, having made the trip by plane from Los Angeles to San Diego."
"On September 24, 1935, she founded the Equal Rights Study Club, made up of a group of members of the Ontario and Upland Business and Professional Women's clubs. The focus was a special study of proposed equal rights amendments to the Constitution of the United States. Winter was named temporary chairman and the club held its first regular meeting at her home in East Ninth Street, Cucamonga."
"She was the director of the Susan B. Anthony Memorial Committee of California and collected material about Susan B. Anthony and her family. Her papers are at the Huntington Library, Manuscripts Department, and, other than Susan. B. Anthony, include material about Mary Ritter Beard, Carrie Chapman Catt, and Alma Lutz" Elisa.rolle (talk) 08:08, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
** ALT1:... that Women's Suffrage leader Una R. Winter was the first executive to fly to a convention? Source: "Sunday, January 22, 1956". The San Bernardino County Sun. [2] Please note, I don't have access to Newspapers.com so can't read the article, but maybe someone else can. --MopTop (talk) 18:35, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
--MopTop: I clipped it for you: [3] and I like ALT1, actually it was the trivial fact I liked the most Elisa.rolle (talk) 19:55, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
@Elisa.rolle: Thanks for clipping it for me. Unfortunately, the article is kind of vague. The actual wording is, "As president of the [blah blah] Women's Clubs, she enjoyed the distinction in 1928 of being the first such executive to fly to a convention." First "such" executive could mean almost anything: first executive of a woman's club, first executive from southern California, etc. I'll try to think of another hook. --MopTop (talk) 20:52, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
** ALT2:... that Una R. Winter reported in 1935 that there was very little interest in women's suffrage in Mexico? Source: San Bernardino Sun, June 12, 1935 [4]
--MopTop: good ALT2 too for me Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:47, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
  • Full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. As the ALT2 hook ref is behind a paywall, AGF and the hook ref is cited inline. QPQ done. ALT2 is hooky and good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:36, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
