Access to SMH article

Hi all. I am looking for (legitimate) access to this SMH article if possible. I am working on an article - User:Mattinbgn/Pistol Grip - where it would come in very handy. Mattinbgn (talk) 11:29, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Here it is on the Internet Archive.

Alternatively, if your browser has Reader Mode, visit the article page in a private browser window, activate Reader Mode, and the whole article should be viewable. It was for me when I just tried. Jimmyjrg (talk) 11:50, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Fiona MacDonald

I've noticed that Fiona MacDonald, surprisingly, did not have a Misplaced Pages article! I have created a stub Fiona MacDonald (television presenter) and linked it in the appropriate places. It will need some expansion (and maybe monitoring). There will no doubt be an increasing number of sources published in the coming day or two. -- Chuq (talk) 11:48, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Chuq. The article has grown, but is also now flagged for suspect notability. --Scott Davis 14:31, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Sigh, trigger happy deletionism :( Notability should be obvious. Host of two nationally popular family TV shows as well as her recent MND advocacy. Looks like the additional sources that have been added should cover it. -- Chuq (talk) 06:12, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
