ProQuest 1371399455 – via ProQuest. "The story goes that shortly before the Northern Expedition was launched in 1926, when the Nationalist Government still had its headquarters in Canton, a pretty little maid of 10 one day found herself in the midst of a large gathering of government officials, including General Chiang Kai-shek. ... Violet sang and acted her way into the hearts of her audience. General Chiang was more than pleased; he presented her with an expensive gold watch."

@Crisco 1492: Interesting article; new enough (though created on 29th not 28th where it was listed in nom page), long enough and fully cited to RS. AGF on the mostly offline sources. QPQ done, so this looks good to go. Al Ameer (talk) 17:31, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Al Ameer. The listing script goes by UTC; as this was moved to mainspace at about 9 pm EST, it would have been the 29th in UTC. Thanks for the review! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 17:35, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I see, thanks for the clarification ;) Al Ameer (talk) 17:36, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Adding Staraction to the nom, as she has contributed further prose. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 18:02, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
