 * Symbol question.svg: I like the article itself, that was expanded, but I think the hooks are not "hooky". What about something referring to this part of the article: "Tanega worked briefly at a mental hospital where she played songs for patients" or this part: "She spent her summers working as a camp counselor upstate in the Catskill Mountains. One summer Brooklyn-based record producer Herb Bernstein happened to be visiting the camp and saw Tanega performing some of her songs. impressed by what he saw, Bernstein took her to meet Four Seasons songwriter Bob Crewe and in 1966 the two men produced a number of recordings that comprised Tanega's first album and singles to be released on Crewe's New Voice Records label." Crewe's name if notorious now for his role in "Jersey Boys" hit musical... Just my two cents. Elisa.rolle (talk) 14:10, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Added ALT2 as per your suggestions. Morganfitzp (talk) 15:11, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg: the article is more than long enough, is neutral, contains no close paraphrasing or copyvio (Violation Unlikely 28.6% confidence), the hook (ALT2) is neutral, short enough, interesting, is properly sourced with an inline source citation, the article itself is adequately sourced and written in adequate English Elisa.rolle (talk) 15:18, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I think the next step is to insert the DYK checklist and insert "yes" on the "passed=" line at the top of this template. Morganfitzp (talk) 13:09, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No, neither of those is the next step. What is next is that someone will eventually promote this nomination to a prep set. The checklist is completely optional, and unnecessary when the reviewer touches on all of the criteria in the course of the review. And, as I posted to your talk page some hours ago in connection with a different template, the reviewer should never insert anything on the "passed=" line at the top of this template; indeed, only people who are closing this template as part of a promotion to prep (which should never be the reviewer) should fill in that field as part of that closure.

 * Thanks for the clarification. Someone had told me the contrary. Morganfitzp (talk) 18:42, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
