- Comment: Several newspapers in Belgium covered this fact at the time, so I think it's notable.

General: Article is new enough and long enough |

Policy compliance:
- Adequate sourcing: - This direct quote needs to have a footnote immediately following:
"At first, it was all for fun, but suddenly it went super fast and I was busy with it full time."
Per DYK guidelines, the hook fact needs to also have a footnote directly following it; I would put one where the fact appears in both the lead and body. - Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems: - I'm a little concerned about the reliablity of TVovermind. Searching for it on the perennial sources noticeboard, there's some concern that it's a low-quality clickbait website. Is there a better source available for Dept's birthday? Her nlwiki article cites Famous Birthdays, which is blacklisted and therefore unhelpful. Otherwise, WP:DOB dictates we need to remove it or only include the year, should a source be available. (Maybe check her socials? A birthday tweet or something would be acceptable.)
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation |

Overall: @Howardcorn33: Meets criteria, Earwig clear, very well-sourced, image is CC licensed, just a couple of tweaks needed. – TCMemoire 14:40, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I have added a citation in the lead for where it mentions the DYK fact, in addition to placing a citation next to the direct quotation. As for her birth date, I have been unable to find any source, excluding TVovermind, which states her birth date in full. I have found a pinned YouTube comment in her CEMI channel which says her birthday is on December 8.[1] We know that she was 23 years old on September 26, 2023,[2] so I believe we can infer her birth date as being December 8, 1999. Would it be acceptable if I assembled these two sources to state her full birth date? ―Howard • 🌽33 19:28, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Howardcorn33: Unfortunately not; WP:DOB addresses this point, that concensus has been reached that combining sources to deduce a birthdate is considered WP:SYNTH. I would bet that TVovermind is just ripping from Famous Birthdays. Good new, though: if you go back through her celine.dept Instagram, there's a post from December 9, 2019, where she says "yesterday was my 20th birthday", we can use that. I would drop the link for you but I'm having issues linking from Instagram on my phone, sorry! Edit: She also dropped this Tiktok with #22, so that helps alleviate any concern that she wouldn't be okay continuing to advertise her birthday.– TCMemoire 09:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
