- Please note that I have noted our desperate need for a citation for this fact at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Actors_and_Filmmakers#Youngest_to_win_Tony_Award_for_Best_Actor_in_a_Play.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:51, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Would Metro (British newspaper) count as an RS? If so, there's this. I just don't know anything about sources in the UK. EricEnfermero (Talk) 00:10, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- I am unable to confirm if this is a WP:RS, but I am hoping for one mentioning the previous record holder (Harvey Fierstein).--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:50, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Template:Reply to Metro would not count as a RS. It is a tabloid newspaper of poor repute in the same family as the Daily Mail. However here is an alternative which specifies that he was the youngest winner in that category. [[1]] Cowlibob (talk) 21:54, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:43, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Dates are good, length is fine, citations are plentiful, the hook fact is fun, factual, and directly cited with a reliable source. (I have a strong preference for the brevity of ALT2.) Tone is neutral and grammar is solid but there are instances of close paraphrasing that must be corrected before this can pass. - Dravecky (talk) 05:51, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
