Overall: ALT0 looks more interesting to me and is ready to go. Some general notes on the article: the lead really needs expanding to at least a full paragraph; and I believe it's standard practice to list just a few of an academic's articles/chapters/reviews (maybe 10 in total) rather than all of them. — Bilorv (he/him) _(talk) 16:21, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: please take care of the lead so this can be promoted. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 12:04, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

@Yoninah: I'm agreed that the article doesn't comply with MOS:LEAD at the moment but I'm confused as to which of the DYK rules requires compliance with MOS:LEAD. Why is this a valid reason to hold the article back? — Bilorv (he/him) _(talk) 12:18, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

@Bilorv: articles that appear on the main page must comply with all Wikipedia standards. Also see WP:DYKSG#D7. The goal is not to run things through the DYK process, but to make sure articles don't end up at ERRORS or with extra tags as soon as they hit the main page.

That's just the same assertion again, not backed up by a rule. An article which complies with all Wikipedia standards is known as a "featured article". D7 doesn't say anything of the sort. Nevertheless, I've expanded the lead in this edit per WP:SOFIXIT, a much more productive approach than all this time-wasting and tag-bombing. — Bilorv (he/him) _(talk) 15:22, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, Bilorv. Restoring your tick. Yoninah (talk) 19:51, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
