Did you know nomination
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
The title of ref. #4 is "The Circus Blue Book" and its citation template says it's a journal, but it links to frankiesaluto.com. Why? Is that a mistake? Ref. #7 links to the same page. Pinging creator and nominator @
Palori and
CollectiveSolidarity:.

Never mind. I understand. Ref. 4 is used to claim "he appeared in guides in 1931" (i.e. in the Circus Blue Book). I assume good faith that frankiesaluto.com/timeline is accurate on that. The rest of the article looks Ok.
This calculator puts the character count at 1505 which is a pass. I will do some more checking (copyvio etc.) tomorrow and comment then.

Meets all the requirements. Hook is cited in the article with a reliable source. Article is recent enough (moved from Draft space on May 4), just about long enough (1505 characters measured by
this tool), no copyvio, article is well sourced and neutral. QPQ is done.
