  • Comment: reference [2] mentions Tyler Titus, elected to the school board in Erie, PA. Is it recommended that we start an article on Titus and include both in this DYK?

Symbol question.svg *My main concern is that council members are usually not sufficiently notable to pass GNG. However, weight of RS may override this.Zigzig20s (talk) 04:45, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the review, Template:U. As for GNG, I would argue that, as per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Politicians and judges, significant coverage has been demonstrated. This article demonstrates national coverage. = paul2520 (talk) 05:11, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
User:Cwmhiraeth: Since you reviewed my QPQ, do you think this passes GNG please? I think it should be good to go if it does.Zigzig20s (talk) 06:39, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
I would say that it does pass GNG and that you can give it the tick of approval. In any event, you have performed a thorough review which can count as your QPQ. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:50, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Symbol confirmed.svg Good to go! Zigzig20s (talk) 07:13, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, Template:U. A photo was recently added to the article. As this DYK nom has been approved but is not lined up for inclusion on the Main Page, can we amend it to use the photo? Courtesy ping to Template:U. = paul2520 (talk) 16:17, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
I have added the image and added the word (pictured) to the hook, so perhaps Template:Ping can approve it with a new tick. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:26, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
