Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 21:34, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello again. I should be able to respond in reasonably time. Soaper1234 - talk 22:32, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

@Some Dude From North Carolina: Due to some unforeseen computer issues, I've not been able to respond as quickly as I would have liked. However, I'll try to respond in the next couple of days. I also have a couple bits of information to add to the article, as well as the recommendations below. Soaper1234 - talk 22:46, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Actual birthdate seems like a requirement for GA.
  • Done some digging and found it. Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
• Add commas after "dancer" and Ostrich Boys.
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
• "began" → "begun"
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Early life

• "graduated from in 2008"
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Career

• Remove the comma after "Pet Shop Boys dancers".
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
• "from May" → "in May"
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
• "in new play" → "in the play"
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
• "guest starred" → "guest-starred"
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Filmography

• Knowing each role also feels like a requirement.
  • Is this in response to the Copperfield role? If so, it can be removed. Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Awards and nominations

• Since there's only one award I would remove the "Work" column, at least for now.
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

References

• Archive all archivable sources (either manually or with this tool).
  •  Done Soaper1234 - talk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Soaper1234 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:19, 21 March 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

• Cited: - The fact that Au was the inaugural recipient of the prize doesn't seem to be cited.
• Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Mostly looks good, just one issue. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 06:04, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

• Thank you for the review Mx. Granger. The best I can find to say it was the first ceremony is by using the source provided. When you hover over the SSSSPOTY tab, it lists all the ceremonies, with 2007 being the first. If you don't deem this good enough, I can reword the hook. Soaper1234 - talk 18:23, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, that seems fine to me. I'll add that citation to the lead to satisfy the requirement that the hook be cited inline. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 18:25, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
