Go Eun-bi edit
- ... that Go Eun-bi (pictured) was a member of the South Korean girl group Ladies' Code until her death in a car accident on 3 September 2014?

- She could hardly be a member of the group after her death, but aside from that, this nomination feels a bit ghoulish, as the poor woman hasn't even been cremated yet. (I know there isn't anything against the rules in submitting the article for DYK, but imagine how you'd feel if it was news of your relation's recent death appearing in the main page's quirky trivia section).

- The nom points out that "she was a member". And as you yourself points out, there are no rules against submitting this article for DYk. Also the subjects death is no obstacle, just recently the article Willem Witteveen and the hook there was accepted. That the "victim" this time is a young beautiful girl makes no difference than had she been an old man etc.--BabbaQ (talk) 13:17, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- You do not have to approve it yourself. Someone else can do that. We have posted several other articles concerning similar hooks. Your personal opinion does not trump the Wikipedia guidelines and rules on the matter. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 13:37, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Somebody else can indeed do it; I'd encourage them not to. Belle (talk) 13:50, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Didn't you review an article on the Auschwitz Sonderkommando? I couldn't even bear to look at that one, much less review it.
- If by that you are suggesting I have double standards, then you are way off base and I find it quite insulting. (I only give myself 10 take-offense points to hand out each month and you've made me use them all in one go). Belle (talk) 02:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Fortunately, I was suggesting no such thing. I merely meant that you may have different standards. (And that I'm kind of hoping that Yoninah will move that one to a prep area.) Unsure if you can get your points back though. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:44, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry for going off on one then. I can't get the points back and I can't even swear about not being able to get them back as I must now be in a happy mood for the rest of the month. (I wouldn't have had any problem with reviewing this article, I just thought it was inappropriate for DYK, so wouldn't approve it. The hook is poorly phrased, but since the article is almost certainly going to merged we don't need to worry about that.) Belle (talk) 09:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Article is new enough (3 September), long enough (2,326 characters), fully referenced. I've created a cropped version of the image, which has a valid licence and OTRS. QPQ done. Hook verified against online reliable source in ref 13, although it would be better if ref 11 were not a blog. However, per Supplementary rule D3, References in the article must not be bare URLs.

- Note that there is a propose to merge this article to Ladies' Code. — Revicomplaint? 07:49, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
- I measured present iteration (take note below) at 2,141 characters. Satisfies the number rule of 1,500+ characters, except these 2,141 characters are virtually content-free except for her death. I did not even read a case for notability here. Article leaves me with no clue about basis of her fame.
- Also, "2013-2014: Debut with Ladies' Code" section is uncited.
- DYK? No way!
