 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is long enough, uses in-line citations, is neutrally written and was nominated the day after reaching good article status. Spot-checking does not find issues with plagiarism, copyvio, or unduly close paraphrasing. QPQ is not required as nominator has not reached 5 credits yet. As for the hooks, I prefer the first one as it is more punchier. The only issue I have is with the overall rank of Ruben Sança in the 5000 metres. With Hassan Hirt testing positive for EPO, it is unclear whether IOC retrospectively disqualified him. See the thread that I started at WT:OY here. If he was disqualified, then Sança would then jump up from 41st to 40th. -- Ianblair23 (talk) 13:01, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, as per the discussion at WT:OY, I have updated the event article, every athlete's article and the relevant nation at the Olympics articles to reflect the new rankings. Specifically on this article I have changed Sança's overall rank from 41st to 40th. One final thing that I would like to see added is how each of three athletes qualified for the Games. Once this is added, it will be good to go. Cheers -- Ianblair23 (talk) 12:16, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding. At the moment I am having no luck on finding out how the athletes qualified for the Games. I am suspecting that they may have been all selected as wildcards, so I will research this a bit more. good888 (talk) 13:07, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All good to go. I have added that Sança was given an universality place. -- Ianblair23 (talk) 12:17, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
