Damien Miller

 * ... that Damien Miller (pictured) is the first Indigenous Australian to be an Australian ambassador?
 * Reviewed: Guardian (polymer)
 * Comment: Now on Sunday (6 July) NAIDOC Week starts in Australia. It is requested this perhaps could run on that day.

Created by 41.253.128.66 (talk). Nominated by Josve05a (talk) at 18:50, 3 July 2014 (UTC).


 * If this passes, its should appear on (6 July) as Josve05a mentioned to coincide with the NAIDOC Week which is a celebratory week for people of Aborigine descent..article is short but well sourced.--Stemoc (talk) 10:21, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't know the extent that this would be relevant to the discussion, but it should be noted that this article was created by a banned editor in violation of their ban. Josve05a has accepted it, so the article stays, but personally I'm uncomfortable with accepting an article for DYK in these circumstances. - Bilby (talk) 17:45, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * As long as an independent editor has nominated it, I don't see the issue. Legoktm (talk) 18:48, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * It seems that being community banned allows you to edit, create articles, and have them showcased on DYK. I do start to wonder what the point of banning is. - Bilby (talk) 18:50, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * This seems to be getting of topic, and becoming a discussion about the point of banning users. This not the right venue to have this discussion. WP:DYK exists for one reason, to [publicize] new or expanded articles after an informal review. And I can't see anywhere in the rules of WP:DYK about if a "DYK-thing" (I couldn't think of another word. String?) should be allowed to be published depending on *who* wrote the article.

 * I think it is an important point to raise. How it is managed is an issue for the DYK process. Unusual situations need to be considered on a case by case process. - Bilby (talk) 00:38, 5 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Back to reviewing the article - everything appears to be fine with it, hook is referenced [6]. Long, new, neutral enough. No QPQ required, and image is suitable. That gets a pass Symbol confirmed.svg in my book. Note to promoter: schedule for July 6th.  Rcsprinter123    (rap)  @ 20:21, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
