=Well-written=

  • I would add her DOB to the first sentence of "Early life and education", so that you don't have to source it in the infobox.
  • {{Done}} ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Link "drag" (and depending on your stance towards MOS:DUPLINK delink it in the "Career" section)
  • {{Done}} Linked first appearance in article body ("Early life and education") ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • {{tq|Melendez is a drag performer who competed as Madame LaQueer on season 4 of the American television series RuPaul's Drag Race.}} — I would clarify that this took place around 2011—12
  • {{Done}} ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • {{tq|the WWE-inspired drag wrestling challenge}} — "the show's WWE-inspired"
  • I've clarified that the second episode was WWE-inspired. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • {{tq|(alongside Chad Michaels)}} — a tie, or as a duo? (it seems to be the latter, I would rephrase this)
  • Changed "alongside" to "tied with". ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • I would delink "single"
  • {{Done}} ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Link "grand marshal"
  • {{Done}} ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • {{tq|the beauty department at a}} — change "at" to "of"
  • {{Done}} ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Link "came out"
  • {{Done}} ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • A couple words on what a "drag daughter" entails? Although, I'd understand if you can't make it work.
  • Generally speaking, "drag mothers" are mentors of "drag daughters", teaching the art of drag to the next generation. I've added "(or mentees)" as helpful context. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • I like the change! Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:20, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • In the external links, update the IMDb name.
  • Good catch! The name change was very recent. :) ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

=Verifiable with no original research=

Most sources are reliable. Refs 2 and 7 are fine in their use as primary sources. WP:VG/S calls Screen Rant marginally reliable, but I'll allow it as it's not being used for controversial info. Earwig shows an absurdly low score of 6%. I've added a few more params to the sources, but otherwise:

  • Refs 19 and 21 are the same
  • I think you've addressed the duplicate ref? ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • Whoops! They are different, they just looked very similar at a glance. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:20, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

=Broad in its coverage=

A short article, but the sources are often brief, so it does a nice job pulling them together.

  • To cover all bases, perhaps a sentence about her music ventures? I couldn't find anything other than the Queerty source, but using it, perhaps: "She has also produced mixes for fashion shows, pageants, and talent shows."
  • If there were more sourcing about music, I'd agree, but in this case I don't think it's a defining thing to add about her because of limited coverage. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
  • I think that's reasonable Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:20, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

=Neutral=

Looks good on this front.

=Stable=

=Illustrated=

=Summary=

This article is so charming, it's something you really only see in short GANs. Just the variety, the images, the GoDaddy website. I love it! Averageuntitleduser (talk) 18:41, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

:@Averageuntitleduser Thank you for reviewing! I believe I've addressed your concerns so far. I'll see if you add any other concerns based on the spot-check, or otherwise. I've got 6 or so similar bios for drag performers at GAN, if you're interested, otherwise thanks again for taking time to review! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

:: {{ping|Another Believer}} Just that one Twitch sentence, and I think that's it! And I've got my eyes on those other bios, I'd be happy to give them a spin as well. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 19:55, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

:::@Averageuntitleduser {{Done}} Thanks again! ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
