Jennie Somogyi

  • ... that ballerina Jennie Somogyi was offered an apprenticeship at the New York City Ballet when she was fifteen? Source: "At 15 she danced the lead in Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante in SAB’s annual Workshop. Impressed by her dynamic performance, Martins invited her to apprentice in the company and, soon after in 1994, she joined the corps. In 1998, Somogyi became a soloist." ([1])

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: No - Needs more context for age 15. Knowing little about ballet, I just assumed teen performers were not that uncommon. For example, The Morning Call saying that she was "one of the youngest dancers to ever join the company" would make it more interesting.

QPQ: No - Not done

@Bagumba: Here's ALT1 with some explanation. ALT1: ... that ballerina Jennie Somogyi was offered an apprenticeship at the New York City Ballet when she was fifteen, becoming one of the youngest dancers to join the company?
I'll do a QPQ by tomorrow. Also, someone added two pronunciations of her last name on the lead section, which I'm quite sure is not correctly formatted and I'll figure that out. Corachow (talk) 19:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
ALT1 looks OK.—Bagumba (talk) 19:39, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
But text reflecting "one of the youngest dancers to join the company" will need to be added to the article too.—Bagumba (talk) 01:41, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
I added a sentence on that in the article. I also reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Willow (song). Corachow (talk) 09:10, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
@Corachow:: The article update is fine. Regarding the review, WP:QPQ says that they "need to be full reviews", whereas that one only needed someone indepenent to sign off on an alt hook. Can you reiview another one?—Bagumba (talk)
