  Iridescent: Thank you. It helps the prep builders to know what you checked. Looking at the article, though, I wouldn't have passed it. Aside from the NPR and Huffington Post, all the sources are local. I would ask the page creator to come up with more sources to meet WP:GNG. Yoninah (talk

• This clearly meets GNG as well as
  WP:NPOL. If nominated for AfD, it would almost certainly be a "speedy keep" in light of the numerous regional and national sources spanning 30 years. Neutrality^talk

• WP:NPOL. Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook ref verified and cited inline. However, the QPQ you submitted does not mention checking any DYK criteria. This does not satisfy Wikipedia:Did you know#Eligibility criteria 5. Review requirement (QPQ): The review must address all five criteria listed here. Do you have another QPQ to submit? Also, we're now collecting hooks for the Halloween set. Would you like to include this there? Yoninah (talk

• @Yoninah: Thank you: I've done a new full review for Template:Did you know nominations/Stanley Silverstein. I'm fine with including this in the Halloween batch. Thanks again! Neutrality^talk 23:12, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
