If I were being pedantic, this should be "claimed to eat iguana", since the source is an interview, however, I don't know why anyone would claim to eat an iguana who hadn't so that's okay. Everything else, copyvio, hook interest, QPQ, newness, length, etc. passes. No image. GTG! LavaBaron (talk) 16:17, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

@LavaBaron: this nomination cannot be approved with bare URLs in the references section, per Rule D3. Also, there is no citation in the paragraph under Personal Life, per Rule D2. The page creator may wish to use additional reliable sources, such as The Telegraph article. Yoninah (talk) 18:43, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm comfortable with D3 as the source to which this specific hook is cited to doesn't use bare references and I read D3 to refer to references in the article to which the hook is cited. D2 is prefaced with the caveat "in general" and 86% of the paragraphs here have cited sources so I'm find with that, as well. Though obviously these would need to get fixed for a GAN. FunkyCanute you may, or may not, want to address these but I'm fine either way. LavaBaron (talk) 18:55, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, but you're adding words to D3, which has nothing to do with the hook but with all the references in an article:
References in the article must not be bare URLs (e.g., http://example.com or [1]), but can be automatically completed with the Reflinks tool or the reFill tool.
Yes, there has been ongoing discussion at WT:DYK about whether D2 is a guideline or a suggestion. But since we're just talking about one line, perhaps the page creator could cite where he found that information? Yoninah (talk) 19:05, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

"References in the article" clearly means references in the article to which the hook is cited, since that's what we're checking for in the article and the requirements for DYK would not, logically, mirror the requirements for GAN or they wouldn't be two separate things. But, yes, that would be great if the creator could cite where he found the information regarding birth and habitation if he were to choose to do so vis a vis the optional guidelines you've noted. However, I can confirm the veracity of the statement to RS through a fairly quick Google search so there's no BLP issue here and the nominator's decision to add a reference as recommended by the optionally suggested and non-compulsory guideline is in his hands at this point.

Done. FunkyCanute (talk) 20:06, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I tweaked the hook slightly and added a conversion template. Restoring tick per LavaBaron's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks but not necessary as my tick was still in place per my 19:14 note. LavaBaron (talk) 22:44, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
