Hook

• Length, format, content rules: Length fine, not too long.
• Source: [1] Passes as a RS.
• Interest: Got me interested enough to read about her, so I'd say mid-interest level
• Image suitability, if applicable: N/A
• ALT hooks, if proposed:

Article

• Length: Only 1,375 character (222 words). Falls short of required 1,500 character threshold.
• Vintage: Created as new article on July 31, so it's good on that end.
• Sourcing (V, RS, BLP): All sources are reliable.
• Neutrality: Yes.
• Plagiarism/close paraphrasing: No.
• Copyvio: No.
• Obvious faults in prose, structure, formatting: Sentences are choppy and short, thus generally unimaginative. Not much variation in prose style either. One of them is a bare URL, and the others are minimally attributed and don't contain any information other than the page title.

Still too short, one paragraph is unreferenced. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

• Article length is OK now (1845 characters), according to DYKcheck. All of the prose is sourced, but the filmography is not sourced -- and the text of the article has the briefest indication that she is an actress in addition to being a fortuneteller. I found a bit of close paraphrasing and I agree that the wording is a bit rough. I've done a bit of clean-up, and I can see possibilities for some more cleanup and expansion, but I haven't seen a good source for her acting. --Orlady (talk) 20:45, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

• Filmography seems to check out a IMDB. Good to go after clean-up by Orlady. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:28, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

I also used Duplication Detector to check overlap with one major source and did minor ce before promoting to prep. Sharktopus ^talk 04:26, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
