• ... that BokHee An, who plays the longest-running recurring character on television show Grey's Anatomy, is also a professional surgical technologist?

• • ALT1: ... that almost every member of the original cast of the television show Grey's Anatomy shadowed BokHee An, a surgical technologist who also plays Nurse BokHee in the show? Source: https://www.shondaland.com/shondaland-series/greys-anatomy/bokhee-an-is-the-glue-who-holds-grey-s-together
  • ALT2: ... that during the first 14 seasons of the television show Grey's Anatomy, BokHee An's character Nurse BokHee, the longest-running recurring character on the show, only spoke once?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Per WP:BUSTLE, that source (used for ALT2) is only "marginally reliable". It would be great if you can find a more reliable source for this, since ALT2 is definitely interesting. The Shondaland website might be considered a primary source since it's a website by Grey's Anatomy's showrunner Shonda Rhimes.
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited:
• Interesting: - I would clarify what Grey's Anatomy is (i.e. a television show).

QPQ: None required.

Overall: @Jishara: Nice work on this article. As a longtime Grey's viewer, I'm surprised that Nurse BokHee hasn't had an article till now. Just a few issues to address above, and this is good to go. Epicgenius (talk) 18:30, 20 May 2026 (UTC) Epicgenius thanks for checking this! I've updated as best as I can - shondaland website is the only source I can find for Alt1, but i've changed Alt and Alt2 sources. I've also clarified what Grey's Anatomy is! Jishara (talk) 02:51, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

@Jishara: No problem. These sources look all right, but could you add them to the actual article as well? Then the nomination would be good to go. Epicgenius (talk) 04:31, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Absolutely! I had already had Education and Career News as a source on the page, but have edited to add CinemaBlend as well.

Looks good to go. Epicgenius (talk) 13:30, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

• – Jishara, re the line: making her one of the longest-serving actors on Grey's Anatomy and her character the longest-serving recurring character. Is there a source which says this explicitly? The source listed at the end of this sentence mentions her long tenure but doesn't say longest. Poking around the article I see other sources which note her long tenure and that she's been there since the pilot, and one could then deduce she's the longest-serving actor. But we should have a source which says this explicitly and can be cited on that sentence. Best, Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 02:16, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

@Vermont - i've cited a source that states she's the longest serving supporting character, and two other sources are cited that both list her as one of the longest-serving actors on the show. Let me know if that works! Jishara (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

• Jishara, thanks! Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 01:39, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

• ALT2 is interesting, but it's not actually in the article. It says she speaks rarely, but that's it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:44, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
• @Crisco 1492: this source also supports that - explicitly listing it.
• Resending ping to Crisco 1492, as the last one was unsigned. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 20:37, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Thanks Leeky. Jishara, the issue isn't the reference per se, but rather the hook fact in ALT2 is not in the article. The article reads "However, she has had very few lines in the show" and "... addressing anti-Asian racism in one of her rare speaking lines, saying "We are American. Your face is American." to Lynn Chen's character". This is not "only spoke once". Season 14 isn't even mentioned in the article as it currently exists. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:12, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
    • Crisco 1492, updated the article to include that line, if that works. Alternatively, ALT0 or ALT1 should also work, right? Jishara (talk) 01:03, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
      • Yes, though ALT0 and ALT1 are weaker. My concern is addressed; reinstating tick. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:05, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
