Hi Riley1012, review follows: article created 4 June; article just exceeds 1,500 characters by my count; article is well written and cited inline throughout; sources on the whole look reliable but could you confirm what makes Olympedia reliable? I haven't seen it used before; hook fact is reasonably interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to sources cited (and others I checked online); nominator exempt from QPQ requirement (I could only find one previous credit). Looks OK to me, once you clarify the Olympedia query. Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 10:55, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dumelow, Olympedia is the replacement for Sports Reference once they stopped providing Olympics data/results (see Sports Reference#Olympics). Sports Reference only shut down its Olympics site last year, so you'll probably see Olympedia a lot more once the Tokyo Olympics happen. It is used a lot as a source for Olympian BLPs (example) and record pages (example).
Ah, yes, I had seen Sports Reference used a lot. Happy to give this a tick - Dumelow (talk) 17:59, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
