  • Symbol question.svg These five articles are new enough and long enough. DYK requires that each article nominated has 1500B of unique prose, and part of these articles has a repeating formula. I think they may qualify as they are but others might disagree. If you were to add an extra unique sentence or two to each, they would more surely pass this requirement. This could easily be done by expanding the lead to better summarise the article, or you could add an extra piece of information on each swimmer. The hook fact has an inline citation, the articles are neutral, and I do not believe they contravene copyright policy. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:26, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Template:U I had assumed that since the repeated text was essentially the hook fact it wouldn't matter, but to avoid argument I've added a little to each article (to the lede as you suggested and the odd titbit elsewhere) and each is now at leats 1900 characters long. Hopefully they're ok now. Thanks - Basement12 (T.C) 14:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. I think these articles are now long enough with sufficient original text in each. This hook is for holding for the Olympics. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:09, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
