Overall: 
Article is new enough and long enough, it is well sourced and neutral. Earwig shows at 26% - which is mostly names of organisations and quotes, so no issue there. Hook is cited and interesting. QPQ is fine, as this is Cl3phact0's second nomination, so none is required. Hook is cited and interesting. Well done to all the editors involved! Lajmmoore (talk) 11:37, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, Lajmmoore, appreciate the kind words!
- Also, I am aware of QPQ and fully intend to participate. I have now nominated four articles in total, which, in addition to Yinka Ilori, are the following: Sabine Marcelis, John Hoke (both pending DYK review), and Livio Castiglioni (which ran on DYK: 14 January 2023) — two of which I initiated (Castiglioni and Hoke), the other two not (not that this has any bearing on the QPQ requirement). Once I get to five, I'll make sure to follow-up on QPQ (please see note here).

- Cl3phact0The hook is in the article but it is not cited. In the article the sentence is followed by two citations but neither one supports the sentence. In the nomination you have cited the hook with CNN, but that reference is not citing the material per 3b. Bruxton (talk) 18:48, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello Bruxton, thank you for reviewing the article. I'm a little confused by your comment. The exact text from the CNN article reads as follows (see the paragraph headed "Narrative designs"):
- Ilori had an innate fascination with the textures and bold hues of his family's rich heritage, but it was the parables that his parents taught him that really stuck. These were about love, respect and loyalty. According to the designer, a centuries-old Nigerian parable, "No matter how long the neck of a giraffe is, it still cannot see the future," led to his five-piece collection of upcycled chairs back in 2013. That project kicked off his signature style of integrating narratives into his work.
- I believe that the Gaudian and FT pieces also both refer to Ilori's childhood exposure to Nigerian culture and parables, and how this has influenced his work.
- What am I missing? Have I misunderstood something in 3b? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 19:50, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Cl3phact0:From what I see citations 17 and 18 follow the sentence about giraffe inspired chairs - yet those two citations do not mention giraffes or the giraffe parable. The two references speak generically of parables. Bruxton (talk) 00:06, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: Oh, I see now — refs 17 and 18 were dropped in the middle of the sentence (which is probably a mistake unto itself anyhow). I've now moved them to the end, after CNN (ref 1). Funny how one can look at something for hours and still miss the details. Thanks for spotting this. While you're here, do you see any other improvements that might be made? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 05:03, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Cl3phact0: Some areas suffer from WP:OVERCITE. I also find sentences like this to be a style of citations that makes the prose difficult. Citing individual words. "...architectural and interior design projects.[14] His clients include Adidas,[21] Kvadrat,[22] Lego,[23] Meta,[24] Nike,[16] Pepsi,[25] SCP,[26] the NHS Foundation Trust creating works for the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital,[1]" Also regarding the lead or introduction, I consider it a summary of what the reader will find in the article which means it should not be cited. MOS:LEADCITE. Lead citations are not prohibited, but my opinion is the same information with specificity will appear in the body and be cited. Also the copyright detector has this article at 26.5% and I see one sentence that can be rewritten. "installations such as Happy Street at Nine Elms, The Colour Palace at Dulwich Picture Gallery, and Get Up Stand Up at Somerset House." is a direct copy. I removed the stop so another promotor can check this out and decide to promote it. Bruxton (talk) 12:58, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Bruxton: Much appreciated. Very helpful. I'll try to iron out those wrinkles. In the case of the string of seven references, I'll need to go back and re-read everything to see if any might be expendable, and will place those that are necessary at the end of that sentence. Point taken re: lead.
- [NB: For what it's worth, my starting point on this was the initial article which had been declined, so any direct copying from sources may have crept in through that door (not that that removes responsibility for checking previous draft). Verbatim copying is absolutely not my wont or style.]
- Thanks again for the good, solid advice. Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 14:09, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
