New enough (submitted 3 days after creation) and long enough (1950 characters). Article cites 13 sources, including newspapers and TV news sites, as well as interviews with blogs and websites about women's health and aging, plus a movie review website. If the blogs were the only sources in the article, we would have problems from a notability point of view, but thankfully this isn't an issue. That said, this is a biography of a living person and as such, the article needs to be BLP compliant per WP:BLP (please be sure to read that as the rules are quite strict). It would be great if you could do another pass at BLP review – for example, any birth date needs to have a clearly attributed source, so you need to put a footnote either in the lede or in the infobox, or re-state the year of birth in the article body text and add a footnote there. It's also worth going through and asking if every single blog in the article actually needs to be cited in the article – it's better to have as few "marginally reliable" or question mark sources cited in the article as possible, as they tend to raise flags, and be ready to defend your use of any less well known sources per WP:RS. (The Cite Unseen tool may be helpful for future (see WP:CITEUNSEEN). And as a side note, you probably should check out Wikipedia Library, as databases such as ProQuest look like they turn up additional newspaper articles.) Tone is neutral although there is some wording like "when jobs began to dry up" that sound too colloquial, which tends to creep in when citing Q&A interviews. Earwig says copyvio unlikely. QPQ is done. Regarding the hooks, I'm not convinced ALT0 is currently backed up by the source as the wording in the Women's Health is that she is the "oldest female to compete in an American Ninja Warrior obstacle" which is not necessarily the same thing. Regarding ALT1, I'm not convinced that the sources cited in the article back up the "four-time contestant" claim (are we sure she isn't competing in 2026? how do we know that from the sources you cited in the article?). ALT2 checks out per the archived URL for the SCMP article. As a side note, one of your sources says that Ginny MacColl also swims competitively in the National Senior Games, which seems like a good thing to include in the article. (Remember: You can always do searches to see what the most reliable source is you can find that backs up a given claim.) @Jishara: Good start, but please do another pass to make sure we don't run into problems with quality of sourcing/precision/verifiability, given that this is a BLP.

I've also edited the article to trim off blogs that could be trimmed, and fixed the language in that section about jobs drying up. Jishara (talk) 19:54, 27 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Jishara: Much better overall! One big red flag though is that we should avoid citing IMDb because it's crowd-sourced (see WP:IMDB). There may be other ways to get the same information like TV Guide or Google Books or Internet Archive or other websites...though sometimes if the only thing you're looking for is the name of the character, might just be better to leave it out.

@Cielquiparle: makes sense - swapped it out for TVGuide and a movie review magazine, both of which I believe are more reliable sources. Let me know if there's any other needed changes. Jishara (talk) 05:57, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Approving ALT0, ALT1, and ALT2. Concerns raised above have been addressed. Cielquiparle (talk) 06:07, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
