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

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
• Other problems: - The article describes Elba Esther Gordillo as corrupt, but the source doesn't seem to say that specifically. I think we need a citation for the corruption claim per WP:BLP.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: I'm a new reviewer, so would be grateful for a second opinion. —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:24, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

• @Mx. Granger: You might want to consult the lead of Elba Esther Gordillo. If it weren't that obvious, I wouldn't have put it there. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. The Forbes source cited in that article says that she was "perceived to be among the most corrupt" and had been charged (though not convicted) with embezzlement. It seems obvious to me that Gordillo is corrupt, but I think we still need to cite it in the article per WP:BLP. —Granger (talk · contribs) 18:29, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

@Mx. Granger: Done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:41, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm still not sure that source works for this claim, as (outside the headline) it just says that she's perceived to be corrupt, not that she actually is corrupt. But I'll leave that subtlety to others' judgement. Otherwise the article looks good. —Granger (talk · contribs) 07:35, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
