  • ... that American frontier doctor Charles Boarman Harris (pictured) was the oldest medically licensed physician in the state of North Dakota at the time of his death in 1942?

Created/expanded by 72.74.217.160 (talk). Nominated by 72.74.217.33 (talk) at 18:24, 9 October 2013 (UTC).

  • Article is new enough and long enough. No close paraphrasing seen in online sources. No QPQ necessary; the page creator has only 1 other DYK. However, the bulk of sourcing in the article and Hooks 1 and 3 are based on Ancestry.com, which is not a reliable source. Yoninah (talk) 14:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
  • The primary source is actually Boarman's entry in North Dakota History & People (1917). The source you're refering to, a 1972 article hosted on Ancestry.com, is used as a supporting reference with exception to a single quote and two sentences (including the first hook). I can move the Ancestry.com article to the external links section if it's a problem. 72.74.219.16 (talk) 17:02, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Yes, I think that would be better. Please cite North Dakota History & People instead of Ancestry.com, and move Ancestry.com to the External Links. Then we can go through with this nomination. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 18:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
  • Sourcing problem resolved. Hooks 1 and 3 are AGF; hook 2 is verified. Image is pd in the U.S. I prefer hooks 1 or 2, but I'll leave it to the administrator to decide. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 00:44, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
