 * ... that actress Jasmyn Banks, who currently plays Alice Branning in the BBC soap opera EastEnders, was working in a bar when she was told that she got the part?

 * Article too short, only 1025 characters.
 * Article does not support the hook and the hook is uncited, of course.
 * Now good to go, everything validated.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:12, 30 June 2012 (UTC)


 * May I ask what the specified size of the article needs to be? — M.Mario  (T/C) 07:56, 30 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Expanded to correct size. — M.Mario  (T/C) 08:57, 30 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg There were significant problems found with this article: a good deal of repetition, a mostly irrelevant quote from another actor that was only tangentially about Jasmyn, and a plot summary used as a review. After editing, the article is at 1200 characters according to DYKcheck, well short of the required 1500 minimum. In addition, DYKcheck shows that the article is a stub class article, and such articles are not eligible for DYK. Some significant additions are needed for this article to be approved again. I also recommend shortening the hook: "when the EastEnder bosses" is unnecessary and makes the hook less interesting. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:16, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Expanded once again, now ready to move to queue. — M.Mario  (T/C) 16:56, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid it isn't ready, and it's up to a reviewer, not you, to say that it is. First, the article is still rated a Stub by WikiProject Biography; as I noted above, stubs cannot be DYKs, and it is an appropriate ranking for the article as it is now. Second, the new very long quote from Jasmyn is too long by WP:MOSQUOTE standards to be an inline quote; it has to be in a blockquote or quote box, neither of which are eligible when it comes to counting characters for DYK. The article is at 1419 characters after the latest edits, and may shrink further depending on the outcome of the Daily Mirror inclusion discussion. More information about Jasmyn or her work (as opposed to quotes from her) is what the article needs at this point. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:44, 1 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote4.png Need reviewer now that article is settled. —  M.Mario  (T/C) 20:11, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Still too short, only 1454 characters and still assessed as a stub.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Expanded and now not a stub. — M.Mario  (T/C) 21:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Cut by BlueMoonset, down to 1300 characters. Not a stub anymore, agreed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:51, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * As mentioned on the article's talk page, I've removed the dubiously sourced birth date and location information, and the tangential Joey sentence. As it stands, there's very little about Jasmyn: she's a young actress with few credits, and the article is still padded with her quotes about how pleased she is to be cast and to be a Branning; most articles would just state the facts of her casting and her first appearance and be done with it. More well-sourced information is needed here; the review that mentioned her acting was a good find, but was twice as long as it needed to be. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:05, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Still too short, 1398 characters.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:21, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
