  • I came by to review this, but did a lot of copyediting and wikifying on this article to bring it up to Wikipedia standards. However, the article does not feel like it meets DYK's start-class Rule D7 yet; it's more like a list of his roles with no real description or indication of notability. You can't assume that readers know the importance of the films he appeared in; you have to tell them (sourced, of course).
  • I moved the page to Purv Pullen, the name he was born with and known by for many years before becoming Dr. Birdbath. If you can add more about his personal life, such as who he married and where he lived and died, it would be helpful. FYI the IMDB and Find a Grave are not considered reliable sources; I removed them from the text and put them under External Links.
  • The bit about the Q. in his stage name needs a reliable source. The whole Filmography section needs to be sourced to reliable sources, like encyclopedia articles or online or print articles. It might also be a good idea to break it into film and television roles. No QPQ needed for nominator with less than 5 DYK credits. Yoninah (talk) 22:58, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Nothing has been done about expansion in nearly a month. The article has not been edited by the page creator or the nominator since October 28. Marking for closure as unsuccessful. Yoninah (talk) 16:57, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
I have left a final message at The lorax's talk page. If they do not respond by December 1, I will close this. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:57, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
I made all the tweaks requested and removed any unsourced content.The lorax (talk) 22:50, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Why doesn't the Filmography include his Tarzan films? Yoninah (talk) 19:49, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
I was including the ones that were cited in viewable news publications.The lorax (talk) 03:30, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
  • OK. Since I worked on this a lot, calling for another editor to give a full review. Yoninah (talk) 11:55, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
- Length, Date, Cite, QPQ exempt, and Earwigs check. Original hook approved. Mifter (talk) 04:41, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
