... that Ted Cruz's national security advisor Victoria Coates published a book on Western art in 2016?

Created by Iselilja (talk). Self-nominated at 22:55, 3 April 2016 (UTC).

Added the missing word "advisor" in hook. Interesting, not to say odd hook fact, which checks out. New & long enuf. Can't access ref 2 without sub, but ref 1 covers most of it, including the hook, without plagiarizing. Johnbod (talk) 17:39, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

I'd recommend holding this back until at least June 8 (end of US primaries) or until Ted Cruz quits the race, considering how closely related this is to his campaign. Jolly Ω Janner 19:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Returned from prep area. Article is tagged for not meeting WP:GNG or WP:BIO, as it has only 2 sources. Yoninah (talk) 10:30, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Silly notability tag removed. Clearly notable. Really, didn't you do a basic search? I'm not aware of any requirement, even at WP:BLP, to use more than two sources. Johnbod (talk) 12:59, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

I added the notability tag in the hopes that someone would add a few more sources to make this eligible for DYK per Rule D12. Only extinct fossils and centuries-old people are granted one or two sources. It's not up to me to go searching for more sources; it's the page creator's responsibility. I've gone ahead and nominated it for AFD; maybe now someone will be motivated to improve the sourcing. Yoninah (talk) 21:11, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

I've withdrawn the AFD nomination because the subject does meet WP:GNG, but I do not think it should be promoted for DYK with only 2 sources. Yoninah (talk) 12:41, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

You could more usefully occupy your time by asking the nominator to add eg the Esquire interview. But I have no idea where this "minimum 3 sources" idea comes from. Ping Iselilja. Johnbod (talk) 14:26, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

I did. She has not edited since April 3. Frankly, I have no desire to rescue this article. Yoninah (talk) 20:46, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Time for a re-review? Many edits have been made to the wikiarticle since this nom was approved for DYK in April. --PFHLai (talk) 12:55, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes, there have been edits, but the article still has only 2 sources. More sources were offered at the AFD discussion, but none have been added. Yoninah (talk) 12:52, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Yoninah, it sounds like your objections come under WP:DYKSG#D7 in part, and also D12 and D13. You can do a complete review if you'd like; if not, then we need to find a new reviewer. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:49, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

My objection to this article appearing on the main page is WP:DYKSG#D12, which we accord for an extinct fossil or a 17th-century personality. There are sources available, they just haven't been added to the article, although I pinged the page creator a month and a half ago. At this point, I would reject it.
