 * Symbol question.svg Article is long enough and new enough. First sentence is not supported by the citation - the source says that the claim was by Del Monte. The article talks about the 50s, but the source about the 60s. Bit wary about the "description" section as the underlined woman is not mentioned in the source. Is slideshare a reliable source? Not sure from the sources given what the ad has to do with "Mad Men". Some sources which I can't access, not that this is disallowed. Didn't notice any copyvio or plagiarism. Hooks are reasonably sourced and short enough, although I can't help but notice that both of them are about the content of the ad, rather than the social commentary that is the bulk of the article. QPQ is done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:08, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I have moved one of the sources that show the full ad to the first sentence so it makes it clear its for Alcoa. The only reason people think it was Del Monte was because that brand was on the bottle. The word "woman" is underlined in the source by looking at the picture in the source (though there's one in the article to make it easier!). The Mad Men references are references to the TV programme based around an advertising agency from that time where stereotyping of women was commonplace.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!
