General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Interesting hook, cited in article. No close paraphrasing, obvious copyright infringement. It looks good to go. FrickFrack 23:05, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

  • @Yoninah: looking to put this in prep 5 or 6 for March 8, but I ran into a discrepancy. The hook says "arranged" but the article said "proposed", which are not necessarily the same. I can propose that the US government grants me a million dollars for comic book research - doesn't mean that they'll do it ;-) So my challenge is that the article does not say that those stunts actually happened?  MPJ-DK  15:54, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
  • @MPJ-DK: I copyedited the article based on the source. After proposing the stunts to the evangelist, Black went ahead and arranged them, as the source states: "First, she invited hospitals to bring patients to church for Aimee McPherson to heal – more than one hundred were carried in. Aimee McPherson later claimed that 'practically all' were healed". Yoninah (talk) 17:55, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: that's great, I will put it in Prep 5.  MPJ-DK  22:22, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
