  • ... that when Roger B. Chaffee (pictured) was selected for Apollo 1, he was the youngest American astronaut to earn a NASA mission assignment?

Created/expanded by Kees08 (talk). Nominated by Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) at 18:23, 16 March 2019 (UTC).

  • article became FA on March 9. Long enough, reads neutral. Earwig's shows some higher %s, but there's a lot of wording like titles and phrasing that would be difficult to word other ways. [1]
Looks great to me! Hook is interesting, and it would be great to include the photo.
My only hesitation is whether the rename discussion should be closed before promoting to DYK on the front page. = paul2520 (talk) 19:36, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
  • While the rename discussion should not affect the passage or not of a DYK (we just need to be careful that it is not moved while it is on the main page!), this nomination should remain in abeyance until we know whether an exception will be granted to allow its consideration as a new FA, as that is not one of the allowable DYK criteria. (Valid criteria are new, newly 5x expanded, or a new GA.) There is a current ongoing discussion at WT:DYK#RFC Ignore All Rules for 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, but this will need to wait until that discussion closes.

  • RFC has closed, and this nomination is allowed to proceed per the results. As the nominator has more than five DYK credits, a QPQ review will be required. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:13, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
@Paul2520: Could you finish this review and give it a tick if ready. @BlueMoonset: I have add a QPQ. Note to promoters: HOLD FOR JULY 2019.--- Coffeeandcrumbs 23:03, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
It's an older review, but it looks like you haven't used it as QPQ credit for any other DYK nom. So, we're good to go! = paul2520 (talk) 01:24, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
