Ruth Cupp

Nominator(s): Remember (talk) 13:53, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

This article is about Ruth Cupp. She was an American lawyer, legislator, judge, and author in South Carolina. She was the first woman admitted to the Charleston County Bar Association and was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives. She even was a legislator in South Carolina before women could serve on juries. Remember (talk) 13:53, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

• Comment The lead needs to be longer. (t · c) buidhe 21:28, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose per 1c given no sources from her time as a Rep. are used. On Newspapers.com there are at least three articles from 1962–1963 that could enhance the section. It was also clear to me that her full name was Alice Ruth Williams. Heartfox (talk) 02:42, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

I'm happy to add those sources but I can't seem to find them. Can you tell me how best to find those articles at Newspapers.com? Remember (talk) 21:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose for now, based on 2a, the lead still hasn't been expanded and doesn't meet MOS:LEAD. (t · c) buidhe 19:27, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

• It would seem that this is not quite FAC ready yet. I would suggest fine tuning it off FAC and possibly running it through PR before resubmitting. There will be the usual two-week pause before another nomination can be made. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:55, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Will do! Thank you everyone for the critiques! I'll fix it up and try running it through PR before resubmitting. Remember (talk) 23:51, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
