Hi @Jolielover: this article, created on 28 Feb, is new enough, long enough, and well-sourced. No copyvio problems. However, per WP:DYKHOOKCITE, "first" hooks usually require exceptional sourcing (DYK has gotten flack for non-factual "first" hooks in the past). Can you find another source which backs up the fact about it being the first accredited charter school? Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 00:17, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @Tenpop421: these are sources I found:[1] [2] the hook can be changed to: ALT1: ... that Marilyn Fisher Lundy developed one of Michigan's first accredited charter schools?
  - Hmmm, yeah, these sources dont give Casa Maria primacy (they both say it was among the first nine), I think your ALT1 would be safer. An obituary tends to exaggerate its subject's accomplishments. Good to go with ALT1. I've edited the article to reflect it. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 19:20, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
