Notability and article issues

Neil Hilborn[edit]

... that Neil Hilborn is the most watched slam poet on the internet, with "OCD" gaining over 12 million views on YouTube? [1] [2]

This article is new enough and long enough. Both parts of the hook are cited inline and seem to be accurate as far as I can see. The article is neutral and Earwig's tool did not bring up anything concerning. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:59, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but found several issues with the article. I tagged it for notability because the sources are all non-major, regional works. Hasn't he been written up in major newspapers/magazines/journals? Second, I placed several "citation needed" tags on paragraphs that lack at least one cite, per WP:DYKSG#D2. Third, I did a complete copyedit, and noted on the talk page that the external links in the last paragraph under "Performance" should be converted into regular footnotes. Also, the article is an orphan; it needs to be linked to at least one other Wikipedia page. Finally, numerous editors contributed to this article; do you want to give any of them a DYK credit, too?

It has been a month without a response, and the nominator has not edited on Wikipedia for four weeks. Also, this article was written as part of a college course that ended on May 9, so I think it unlikely that there will be any further work done. Even so, I have repinged the nominator's talk page with a "last call" in the hopes that I am mistaken in that regard. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:23, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Still no response after another ten days; marking for closure as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:27, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
