This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
A fact from Robin Ordell appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 April 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in 1939, a teenage Robin Ordell became the youngest radio announcer in Australia?
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.
New, long enough, neutral, mostly well cited (see below), no apparent copyvio. A couple outstanding issues:
He appeared in various other serials is not verified in source.
Why use a June 1940 source to say Around January 1939 when your May 1939 source says A few weeks ago...
Place of death shouldn't be Netherlands in the infobox.
Is the photograph stated to be a work of the RAAF, or is this assumed?
Last and most important, the hook isn't especially interesting or informative. He was actually 17 per the sources, and besides, major radio announcer isn't very descriptive.
The nominator did not provide a QPQ within a week of the nomination, nor after the above review was made. He also has not edited since the 18th, and has not touched the article since nominating it. The nomination is thus now marked for closure, without prejudice against it resuming if he returns or another editor adopts this.

Hameltion This should have fixed a lot of what you were saying (fixed the article and won't use the image as a DYK image). I also propose this hook ALT1 ... that in 1939, a teenaged Robin Ordell became the youngest radio announcer in Australia?
