 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article is new and long enough. It is impeccably referenced, neutral, and free of any copyright issues. The hook is concise, appealing, and referenced. I have found a photograph on FlickR (and there are more, if we ask for permission). I would suggest including the picture in the hook as well, but then another reviewer would have to approve it. It's a shame we do not have an article about her sister; it would have made a nice double hook. Surtsicna (talk) 15:03, 3 April 2019 (UTC)


 * That is a great photo! I assumed there wouldn't be any with an appropriate license. A staff member at the aquarium is aware of the article's creation and told me they are hoping to release the copyright of a portrait of her to Commons, but who knows how long that would take, so this picture definitely works if you think one should be included. So that would make the hook this, if you like the full species name in it. Assuming the caption would need to be as short as this one.
 * ALT2: ... that Julie Packard (pictured), the executive director of Monterey Bay Aquarium, has a species of deep-sea coral named after her, called Gersemia juliepackardae?
 * Alternatively, I could contact the copyright holder of these photos of the coral species and see if they'd release one to Commons? Although, it'd be hard to see it with such a small thumbnail so maybe not. Rhinopias (talk) 23:40, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It probably would be too small to see, but I think you should ask for it anyway. One day we might have an article about the coral, so the picture would come in handy :) Surtsicna (talk) 07:17, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I shot them a message! I could create the article rather quickly I'm sure. Rhinopias (talk) 03:10, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I have written an article about the coral (Gersemia juliepackardae) and linked it in the hooks. Would somebody like to review the new article? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Calling on a reviewer to review the new article, Gersemia juliepackardae., can we make this a double hook? Yoninah (talk) 16:47, 22 April 2019 (UTC)


 * ALT3: ... that the deep-sea coral species Gersemia juliepackardae is named after Julie Packard (pictured), the executive director of Monterey Bay Aquarium?
 * ALT4: ... that the deep-sea coral species Gersemia juliepackardae was named after Julie Packard (pictured), the executive director of Monterey Bay Aquarium, for her work as an ocean conservationist?
 * ALT4 is ~180 characters. I don't how long the image caption can be – "Packard speaking about ocean conservation in Chile" would be a long one. Rhinopias (talk) 18:28, 22 April 2019 (UTC)


 * If is adding an eligible DYK article to the nomination, I believe a QPQ would be reqired. I will be happy to do a full review, once that is clarified. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 03:49, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I have reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Alfred Kirchner. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:34, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
