• • ALT1: ... that the Dexcom Seven, launched in 2007, was the first CGM system capable of delivering continuous glucose data for a full seven days, doubling the lifespan of its predecessor?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: So far so good, article passed minimum length criterion and newness. Source spot checks indicate good results, though I don't think every product name needs to be bolded? I would AGF on the interpretation that "first real-time factory-calibrated CGM system" means "without requiring calibrations". I also endorse the ALT0 hook, though I think it would be much more compact if you end the hook at "...calibrations" (no need for the "thereby eliminating the need for regular fingerstick blood tests?"). Approved! Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 04:32, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

• Pulled per concerns raised at WT:DYK#Queue 5 (7 May, 00:00). A new hook will be needed here, one that is less likely to be challenged and also one that may not be perceived as advertising. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:29, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

ALT2 may be better, it is easily verifiable and just as interesting. MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 13:13, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Suggestion from our Discord discussion:

• ALT2a: ... that a 2023 Super Bowl ad featured Nick Jonas using a Dexcom G7 CGM?

I think this is just as interesting, shorter, and a bit less promotional. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:04, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

On second thought, I might have trimmed this a bit too much, at the expense of meaning anything to someone unfamiliar with the subject matter. Perhaps a mention or link to type 1 diabetes should find its way back into the hook somewhere. jlwoodwa (talk) 03:12, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

• ALT2b: ... that a 2023 Super Bowl ad featured Nick Jonas, a type one diabetic, using a Dexcom G7 CGM?

@Jeromi Mikhael: as the original reviewer, can you determine if ALT2a or ALT2b are approved? If not, please outline your concerns. Z1720 (talk) 14:53, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

@MallardTV, Narutolovehinata5, Jlwoodwa, Jeromi Mikhael, and Z1720: Jumping in as it's been a week without comment; the source is in future tense and does not confirm it actually happened.--Launchballer 21:42, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

I can find another source. Here: https://investors.dexcom.com/news/news-details/2023/Dexcom-and-Nick-Jonas-Make-Super-Bowl-Magic-to-Launch-New-Dexcom-G7-Continuous-Glucose-Monitoring-System/default.aspx MallardTV ^{Talk to me!} 26:46, 3 June 2025 (UTC).

I don't think Dexcom are an appropriate source for that.--Launchballer 21:01, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

how about https://admeter.usatoday.com/story/sports/ad-meter/2023/02/07/nick-jonas-magic-dexcom-super-bowl-57-2023/77668440007/?

Still future tense I'm afraid. It says "The ad is set to run during a 30-second spot in the second quarter of the Big Game", emphasis mine.--Launchballer 10:09, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Excellent. Now let's see it in the article.--Launchballer 12:56, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Let's roll.--Launchballer 17:08, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Note: @MallardTV: Just FYI, I don't find the hook that interesting, and as DYK slots are currently under high demand, I won't be promoting it. Other promoters may disagree. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:44, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

Marking for closure per above and being over two months old. SL93 (talk) 08:09, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
