• ... that Robin Ordell (pictured) became a major radio announcer at age 18? Source: [1]
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Johnny Buss

Created by Lettler (talk). Self-nominated at 21:56, 27 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Robin Ordell; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New, long enough, neutral, mostly well cited (see below), no apparent copyvio. A couple outstanding issues:
  • He appeared in various other serials is not verified in source.
  • Why use a June 1940 source to say Around January 1939 when your May 1939 source says A few weeks ago...
  • Place of death shouldn't be Netherlands in the infobox.
  • Is the photograph stated to be a work of the RAAF, or is this assumed?
  • Last and most important, the hook isn't especially interesting or informative. He was actually 17 per the sources, and besides, major radio announcer isn't very descriptive.

A QPQ is also needed, as this is your ninth nomination. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 03:27, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

The nominator did not provide a QPQ within a week of the nomination, nor after the above review was made. He also has not edited since the 18th, and has not touched the article since nominating it. The nomination is thus now marked for closure, without prejudice against it resuming if he returns or another editor adopts this. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:44, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

• Hameltion This should have fixed a lot of what you were saying (fixed the article and won't use the image as a DYK image). I also propose this hook ALT1 ... that in 1939, a teenaged Robin Ordell became the youngest radio announcer in Australia? Lettler^{hello • contribs} 22:49, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
