  • Comment: I'm not sure if the search results count as a good source, but the search is limited to Earphone Award winning titles and has a count of 71.

• This is more of a comment rather than a review, but I'm not sure if the current hook is the best option considering we don't even have an article on the Earphone Awards. Earphone Awards is currently a redirect to the magazine that gives it out, and the magazine's article itself isn't exactly in the best of shape. Maybe other proposals can also be suggested here?

• Starting a full review. The article was new/long enough at the time of the nomination and is free from close paraphrasing. As the nominator only has two prior nominations no QPQ is needed. As I mentioned above, the hook isn't exactly great given the lack of a separate article for the award. Possible suggestions I have for another hook could include the road trip angle, or perhaps something else. The article also isn't exactly in great shape. There's no mention at all about his personal life. Not thing about his early life, what he did prior to his career, as well as personal stuff like family information. In addition, much of the filmography lacks a reference. Given that this article is to be featured on DYK, it's ideal for most to be referenced wherever possible, including filmographies.

Blatant Oversight and Lack of Accountability on Wikipedia

You list 86 awards Dion Graham has won as well as other prestigious accolades and honors as a narrator and yet you go on to say that Mr. Graham has given voice to many “black characters and narrated classic works by many African American authors…” as if Mr. Graham’s repertoire is limited to black characters. This gives the impression that Mr. Graham’s laudable and extraordinary gifts are restricted to a single genre of narration. Shame on you for writing a brief biography that is so blatantly biased.
