- Comment whilst I enjoyed reading the article, I don't think photographs of blackface are appropriate for Wikipedia's front page. Lajmmoore (talk) 20:45, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: @4meter4: Nomination was made one day after the article was created. The article is properly sourced and has no grammatical or spelling errors. I made some minor edits to the page, such as adding an infobox and information about his adopted son. The hook is alright, but if another hook is needed then "... that blackface minstrel show performer George L. Wade was killed by an Indianapolis 500 racer?" could be used. Wikipedia is not censored, but it would be ill-advised to use this image for the front page. Jon698 (talk) 14:14, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
