This article is about Daisy Bacon, the editor of Love Story Magazine for most of that magazine's life. (This is new territory for me, as I've never before nominated a biography of anyone born in the last 1,000 years.) Love Story was the most successful pulp of them all, reaching perhaps 600,000 readers, more than any of the western, detective, horror, or science fiction magazines. I found out about Bacon when researching Doc Savage and The Shadow, since she edited them for a few issues right at the end of their run. The article has had a peer review, with very helpful comments from Aoba47, SusunW, Caeciliusinhorto, and Mujinga. I hesitated about nominating this, as it depends very heavily on one source, a book-length biography of Bacon by Laurie Powers. However, there are many newspaper articles about Bacon, so there's no question she's notable, and I've chosen to use Powers rather than the newspaper articles in almost every case since Powers points out innumerable errors in the newspaper coverage.

I support this FAC for promotion based on the prose. All of my comments have already been addressed in the peer review process. I have read through the article a few more times, and I could not find anything else to add. Great work and best of luck with the FAC! Aoba47 ( talk) 17:46, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
Mostly said everything I needed to at the PR. Having read through it again, only have minor notes:
Nothing major, just a few tweaks. As for based mostly on one source, as we discussed, plenty of sources to confirm significant coverage, but Powers is the most authoritative. Good luck on the FAC. SusunW ( talk) 22:03, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing a bit of pulp fiction here at FAC. Very little to report, just a few nitpicky items:
That's all from me. Edwininlondon ( talk) 14:52, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Source formatting is consistent and the necessary information is there. Is it just me, or is the article almost entirely reliant on Powers 2019? The sources seem to be reliable and suitable for their usage. For this time, source spot-check only upon request. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk) 17:36, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
