Richmond Landon, Alice Lord (diver)
- ... that Olympians Alice Lord and Richmond Landon (both pictured) later married after meeting each other on the ship ride to the 1920 Summer Olympics?

Both articles:
General eligibility:
- New enough:
- Long enough:
- The Alice Lord article went from 535 to 2806 characters, just barely over a fivefold expansion. The Richmond Landon article was previously 448 characters and is now 2237 characters, just short of the 5x threshold (literally three characters). I'm not going to nitpick over this, but I just want to confirm that these meet WP:DYKCOMPLETE and aren't just being expanded to the bare minimum required.

@1ctinus: Nice work on the articles. I have a question about the completeness of the articles, however, given how both pages just barely seem to meet the fivefold expansion threshold. Epicgenius (talk) 14:58, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
@Epicgenius: I will try to scrap by any relevant biographical information for Landon. I am unfornutately busy and will not be able to edit for the next few hours. I believe that the articles are complete to my abilities for relevant biographical information. What do you believe is missing in either articles? Lots of the contempory information is primarily fluff peices on their marriage. -1ctinus📝🗨 16:17, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- I was wondering if there were any other details about Alice's personal life or Richmond's career, since these sections are short relative to the rest of these respective articles. If not, that's fine, but I wanted to confirm that there aren't any pertinent details missing. You can take your time - I will be busy for the next few days.

- @Epicgenius: The Richmond Landon article is now long enough to match the quota. Early Olympians typically did not have long, sustained, careers, so that's why the "career" section is not very long. Additionally, lots of the "contemporary" coverage of their relationship is gossip fluff that's essentially impossible to use in an encyclopedic tone. I believe that these articles are rounded enough to meet WP:DYKCOMPLETE. Alice was mostly a housewife (I'll incorperate it somewhere), so that's why her "personal life" may not be so detailed. Richmond has less coverage on him due to the fact that he lived a much shorter life, and that Alice was one of the first female Olympians. I hope this clears some things up as to why some sections seem short. Cheers, -1ctinus📝🗨 12:53, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Sounds good enough to me - since this is DYK and not GAN/FAC, it's fine if there's not a lot of info on them. I'll approve this DYK nomination. Epicgenius (talk) 13:32, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
