• ... that prior to embarking on a music career during the pandemic, the DJ Sim0ne placed fifth on the eleventh series of Britain's Next Top Model in 2017? Source: https://theface.com/music/dua-lipa-illusion-review-playlist-ken-carson-simone

  • Comment: I cleared out a bunch of BLP violations for this just over a week ago, and then 5x'd from that this afternoon. I have not managed to 5x this from the 'bad' version, and I don't think I'll be able to get to 5x (it's currently a little over 4x), so I humbly request IAR approval (and if not, this is at GA anyway, so I'll just bring it back later).

5x expanded by Launchballer (talk).

Number of QPQs required: 1. Nominator has 219 past nominations.

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

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

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

QPQ: Done.

Overall: DYK tool was reading earlier versions of the article and not showing 5k. WP:5X clearly specifies the last version of the page before expansion, which occurred a week after the removal of the WP:BLP-violating material, so I think we're good on that front. The article cites ellesse-en for some of the hook, but you have The Face here (which also supports it). Personally, I feel like The Face may be more reliable than a commercial clothing store that featured her as a model.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:23, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

• A few more referencing comments: Could not get a DOB on her Instagram post (WP:ABOUTSELF allows this, but I'm only seeing 'late 20s' at the source); the Danny Lomas podcast could benefit from {{cite podcast}} (the minutes, for example; one shouldn't need to review a 57 minute podcast); Bristol Post reference is underformatted; not sure about the reliability of Planet Woo. These aren't part of the DYK nom per se; please think of them as pre-GAR comments.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:31, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Replaced the Ellesse-en source with The Face. If you scroll down on Instagram you should see her comment "gentle reminder my birthday is this saturday". The podcast should have a button saying "Transcript", which is what I used. Planet Woo is a media brand belonging to ITV, although I've just read on a press release that "the team behind VICE, i-D, Boiler Room and LADbible" founded it and WP:VICE has them in yellow. I'm not using it for anything controversial though, just an interview and attributed opinion.--Launchballer 08:43, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am going to review this article as part of the October GA backlog drive. I should be done within a week. Kimikel (talk) 02:51, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: Please see my review below. Let me know if there are any questions or concerns with my suggestions, or if you will not be able to complete the review in a timely manner. Thank you. Kimikel (talk) 03:43, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

@Launchballer: I've finished going over the article and I believe there's nothing left to remedy; as such, I am going to close this review. Thank you for your prompt, quality work and congratulations! Kimikel (talk) 22:39, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Well-written

Early life and Britain's Next Top Model

• "she walked out of" > quit
• "on the grounds that Manchester" > because it
• "work available down there" > work available
• "from her agency" > from Murphy's agency
• "lots of jobs" > many jobs
• "before deciding she could not be bothered" > but did not want
• "only for the producers to email her back" > only doing so after the show's producers emailed her
• "after which she found it easier to obtain work." > remove

I believe I've completed all of these.--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Music and presenting

• "the pandemic" > the COVID-19 pandemic
• "After returning to Scotland" > the second half of this sentence has nothing to do with the first, break them up

Split, although it feels recursive mentioning Scotland twice in quick succession.--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

• "During the pandemic, modelling work dried up, and Murphy realised that she wanted to make music, so spent lockdown teaching herself." > After modelling work became harder to find during the pandemic, Murphy spent the lockdown teaching herself to make music.
• "In 2023, she released" > In 2023, Murphy released
• "a further track" > another track
• "preferring to take punters" > I can't find a definition for "punters" anywhere that fits this context, perhaps a different word would be better

Changed to "ravers".--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

• "nail pop up" > perhaps explain what this is

Pop up nail salon.--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

• "annotated with artwork" > decorated with artwork

All done.--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Personal life and artistry

• "after a long dating pause after dating people in the modelling industry" find a way to get rid of this double "after"

Reworded.--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

• "[sic]." > which part needs a sic?

Capitalisation of "Sim0ne" and the lack of oxford comma.--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Verifiable

• A ton of sources are missing authors and dates. Go through all of them and see which ones can be input.

I believe I've added all of them that have them.--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Spot check

1. 1: Maybe I'm missing it but I don't see where states her birthday is 29 July

If you scroll down the comments you should see one from Simone saying "gentle reminder my birthday is this saturday".--Launchballer 04:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

1. 4: Missing author and date
2. 3: Missing date
3. 29: missing date
4. 27: missing author
