Did you know... that Sophia Kianni was the youngest activist at a hunger strike and sit-in at U.S. speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's office?

ALT1:... that Sophia Kianni(pictured) became a climate activist after pollution blocked the stars in Tehran's night sky? Source: "The smog that obscured the stars that night in Tehran was a signal that our world is heating up at a terrifying pace. ... I have been a climate activist ever since." https://www.teenvogue.com/story/extinction-rebellion-hunger-strike

I think that the first hook may not be accurate because the article explains that she participated for only one day. The second hook has been verified. I also think that some details should be removed as they are WP:DIARY like Due to the 2020 coronavirus quarantine, besides moving her activism online, Kianni posted personal TikTok videos with her mother and younger sister,[18] and connected with her friends through Zoom workout sessions.[13] She spoke to Time magazine about how she and her high school peers planned to move their physically cancelled senior prom online to at least show off their dresses.[19] She wrote an article for the Middle East edition of Cosmopolitan magazine about how the coronavirus affected her extended family's celebration of Nowruz,[20] and another for Refinery29 about how it affects her daily schedule as a climate activist.[15] I will add the reviewer's template when these issues have been addressed and discussion about them has concluded.--Maleschreiber (talk) 14:52, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The first hook is verified by the source, in fact it's the secondary headline of the source. To be the youngest at a protest, you just have to attend, not to stay for the whole period. The personal details are half of her major coverage - if it were just her writing about them, I agree this could be undue, but they get coverage from pretty impressive sources like CNN and Time Magazine. On the one hand, the sources see her as a representative of American teens in quarantine; on the other hand, this goes to her media expertise (which is as close to a "job" as she has - she is specifically a media specialist for her environmental groups) in getting coverage, which I hope you agree is pretty impressive for a teenager. --GRuban (talk) 16:12, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I still think that it is not accurate. Taking part in a hunger strike and sit-in means more than going to the sit-in and leaving the next day. The alternative hook is verified so for the purposes of DYKN the hook can still move ahead. In terms of pictures, there's no copyvio. The parts which I feel that have to be addressed are the ones which are WP:DIARY because even if they got news coverage, it doesn't necessarily mean that they should become part of wikipedia's coverage as While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style. For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia. --Maleschreiber (talk) 22:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I see your point, and will shorten the details to a single sentence. Hopefully that is an acceptable compromise to mention that she got coverage from CNN, Time, and the Washington Post? She's an 18 year old high school student, that kind of coverage is pretty rare. And I will separate the articles she wrote into a separate section about her writing. --GRuban (talk) 17:15, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Earwig got a hit on "a national strategist for Fridays for Future, an international spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion, and a national partnerships coordinator for This is Zero Hour", but your article predates the Forbes article by a month, so not a violation.
I have inserted a possible conflict of interest template at the head of this page as the edit history clearly establishes that the subject is a major editor. It also seems likely that a press agency or friend has contributed significant sections without disclosure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.73.183.185 (talk) 12:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A new account deleted the template and this talk page section. I'm restoring the talk page section, to answer it (and to discourage further new accounts from deleting it again; don't do that, please, let the IP talk), but I'm not going to restore the on-page template, because it is baseless. You can see in the article history that most of the article was written by me. I'm an editor of 15 years standing, on various subjects, you can see which on my user page, about 90 articles so far. I wrote about her for two reasons: because a request to write about her was in Wikipedia:Requested articles, and I write about those sometimes; and because writing interesting articles about notable women is among my many interests, as above. I'm neither a friend nor a press agency. I've never met the page subject, though I did email her to check for any errors, and to request she release some images, which she did. --GRuban (talk) 15:44, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
