  • I know these articles are not ready yet, but someone started expanding Ashton so I have 5 days to get them ready. Maybe we could put them on the main page on the last day of the 2013 World Series of Poker (July 15 with the most important part occurring on July 16 UTC).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:09, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
  • I believe this nomination is now qualified, given my completion of the QPQ requirement. This is a date request for July 16, so please review promptly.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:38, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
    • I may withdraw this date request. It appears that only two of the six remain alive going into day 2c (although there are about 2 dozen unidentified did not reports.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:27, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
  • Date request withdrawn. None of them seem to have made day 3 (although there are four unidentified did not reports, out of 1873 remaining players).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:37, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
I will start reviewing this later today. I can't start at the moment because the online sources will be blocked at work (!). Review may come in several stages depending how much time I have over the next few days. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 11:24, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Initial check: all six articles are Start-class, exceed 1500B prose (between 1591 and 1945) and were either created or expanded in the correct timeframe: most work took place between 5 and 8 July. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 11:42, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Also all QPQ reviews are done/in progress. I am about to copy and paste in my review of all six articles... Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 20:51, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
  • OK, just a couple of points on two of the articles before I can fully verify this. The hook fact itself is fine, so once the other points have been covered I will be happy to verify the hook as written.
    • Some problems on Matthew Ashton: the first 212 sentences of the "Highlights" paragraph (up to $2,500 Seven Card Stud event #23 inclusive) are not mentioned in the ref cited (number [1]). Also, the total winnings of $2.3m sentence is uncited.
    • On Loni Harwood, this is a bit close to the source: She learned poker watching her father play online. Happy with everything else. This may contain some info to help expand the article further.

Thanks for the updates. As before, I'll complete the review when I get home this evening. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 08:00, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

I've checked all changes and am happy to verify this hook. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 19:04, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
