Well done! I've found no issues whatsoever. Earwig's got a 15% from quotes which aren't a problem, spot-checks show nothing either. Sourced article and hook, all sound equally interesting to me so no preference here.

I was wondering what other editors think about including the harsh remarks made by news anchor Jayne Secker about Gibson's achievement on the page. In a recent edit, @ HurricaneAmputee: added them to the page, and while I was aware of them, I deliberately avoided mentioning them as they seemed like too much of a WP:NOTNEWS violation. I think the information is notable on Secker's page under the controversies section, but here it doesn't really contribute anything noteworthy imo. Cheers! Johnson 524 17:47, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Changes to his birthdate, place of birth, and moving to Stillwater need to be made: Willis was born on January 27, 2010, to Adam Gibson and Karin Cox. He was raised in Garnett, KS until the age of 6. In 2016, 4 years after the divorce of his parents, he moved to Thornton, CO with his mother, step-dad, and siblings. In 2019, he moved to Stillwater, OK. The death date of his father and information about his mother (me) are correct.
Also,
The sentence about him not wanting a job in esports is partially out of context: He doesn't remember saying he didn't want a job in esports, just that at age 13, he isn't sure what he wants to do as an adult career yet.
I'm not sure how to cite this, since Willis is my son and asked if we could make changes. I'm trying to figure this out as best as I can. We can always make a video for this information that can't be found in current media and can site that video, but that seems silly to need to do. Thank you so much!

How can a 13 year old who presumably relies on his parents still be a professional? The two main and common definitions of professional are: one who earns their living from an activity (typically something not considered a job), and someone who belongs to a profession (which is defined a job).
None of the sources seem to mention the term professional (although I haven't look through all 30) nor is the claim actually cited to anything (it's only included in the lead) looking at Justin Yu I noticed the same issue. I don't believe the label of professional should be applied without other sources using it. Traumnovelle ( talk) 05:17, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

None of the quickfail criteria applies to this article. For the subject matter, this seems to be very close to a GA in terms of length and broadness. No edit warring or cleanup banners that need immediate attention. No copyright violations appear to be present as well.
Overall a pretty good article, though there's some things that need to be addressed. I'll place this on hold to give you time. I might also take a second look when I'm done. λ Negative MP1 18:39, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
