- Comment: Special date request – Requesting this article to appear as the lead hook with image (if possible) on August 19, 2021, the 75th birthday of President Bill Clinton! Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 18:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
I didn't find a better way of linking the article in the hook. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 18:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
5x expanded by Kavyansh.Singh (talk). Self-nominated at 18:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC).
- I also suggest the campaigning picture as an excellent lead image. — Maile (talk) 13:22, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Maile66 – Sure. The second picture can be taken if ALT1 hook it chosen (as it shows Governor Clinton, while main image shown President Clinton.) Thanks! Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 13:29, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

- Eligibility
- 5x now, expansion began on July 29, 2021
- Sourcing
- All sourcing appears to be standard reliable sourcing for subject matter
- Hook
- The main hook is very clearly stated in the article, and sourced at the end of the sentence where it states it.
- The ALT1 hook is a recap of much of the article, as this is about his political history. It's also listed in the sidebar. If anyone feels this needs a specific source or two somewhere, please state. I don't believe the facts are left in doubt.
- Images
- Electoral college maps are either in the public domain, or released to Commons by their creator
- The lead image of Clinton with first raised was released to Commons by the photographer
- All other images are US government images from the US national archives

- Earwig's tool only flags job titles and the like
- Comments
- Kavyansh.Singh, I will do this review for you. My goal is to get this review completed by the end of today. Other than the above criteria, I will list any additional comments/questions here at the bottom.
- Reading through the lead, I find the word "contested" when I think you are referring to Clinton being one of the candidates. I wonder if you might change those instances to "ran in" or "competed in". The word "contested" is usually in the news when election results are challenged and require a recount. — Maile (talk) 14:02, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for deciding to review. I'll appreciate your extra comments, as they will help in improving the standard and making it easy for the reviewer to review for GAN. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 14:33, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
This nomination passes. My preference is for the original hook, an historical fact I don't believe I'd even thought about before. I'll move it to the Special Holding Date of August 19. — Maile (talk) 18:54, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
