Jill Farrant
Created/expanded by Lorealforwomeninscience (talk), Paulrh (talk), Autumnalmonk (talk), and JoelWhy (talk). Nominated by JoelWhy (talk) at 13:52, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that Jill Farrant was awarded the Harry Oppenheimer Fellowship Award for her research into resurrection plants which are able to "come back to life" from a seemingly dead state?




 * Symbol possible vote.svg Borderline but technically passes: new enough, just long enough (1533 chars minus lists), hook is cited and content within policy. However, the article formatting is a bit awkward, it doesn't read very well, there's a prominent red link in the middle and the article lacks any categories.  Also, while the cited source backs up the claim that the award was given specifically for her research into resurrection plants, the wording of the article does not make this clear; merging the hook into the lead would easily fix this though.

 * Not sure whether the nominator wants to resurrect this nomination, but if so, I wonder whether a link in the hook should point to a dab page?  Schwede 66  19:24, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, good point. There really should be a separate page for resurrection plants. But, for the time being, I'll remove the link. In the meantime, I've made some additions to the page. I'd still like to add more, but if anyone wants to review and provide input, it would be welcomed.    Joel Why?  talk  12:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
 * So, how do I resurrect this nomination?    Joel Why?  talk  12:43, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg You could go to WikiProject South Africa or WikiProject Plants and ask for some help with the problems outlined above (if they still need addressing; best to query Jpatokal). I've gone through the article and wikified it. I note that beyond what is listed above, the section 'Background' is unreferenced (that's a core requirement for DYK). Stylistically, it would be better to convert the list in that section to prose. Red links, by the way, are not a problem at all.  Schwede 66  19:24, 4 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg There has been no action on this in over two weeks, and no edits on the article since Schwede66's wikifying. Background section remains unsourced. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:17, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
