  • ... that Helen O'Brien fled the communists in her native Romania and founded the most daring nightclub in London, where she worked as a spy for MI5 and MI6? Source: "...fervent anti-Communist who had fled her native Romania after the war...In its day it was the most daring show in the West End...was so useful that she had not one but a team of handlers from MI5 and MI6."

Created by Edwardx (talk) and Whispyhistory (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 21:14, 8 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Helen O'Brien; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • Article qualifies, but "the communists" in the hook could do with being clarified (communist government?) and the source says "the most daring show", which is slightly different from the most daring nightclub. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:14, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
done. @Edwardx: please respond to rest of queries. Whispyhistory (talk) 12:38, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry everyone. Have been a bit busy as of late. Should get back to this later today. Edwardx (talk) 10:54, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Edwardx: Have you had a chance to work on this? Z1720 (talk) 18:25, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Edwardx: Has not responded to the ping above. Unless they return, or someone like @Whispyhistory: takes over the nomination, this is at risk of being closed as unsuccessful. Z1720 (talk) 19:11, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Z1720:... I'm sure Edward has good reason. I'll work on these in the interim. Whispyhistory (talk) 08:38, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Approve ALT1 Both articles were nominated just barely within the time limit, so good there. Both of them are long enough, at approximately 3000 and 2000 characters respectively. Everything looks to be properly sourced, including in-line citations for the hook facts. I will say though that the Eve article could definitely be expanded when you have an entire book chapter about it. No copyvio issues noted from the detector and the QPQs have been done. I'm going with ALT1 as the more interesting hook, since while the others are a bit fun, that first one seems like it would attract the most attention and is most informative about the articles to boot. Looks good to go. SilverserenC 18:52, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
