  • COMMENT: Made some changes to article, but also rated it as Stub (not rated before). In my opinion, more information should be added before the article is upgraded to Start or better, and before consideration for this DYK nomination David notMD (talk) 14:24, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Symbol question.svg: The hook is 242 characters - the hard limit is 200. On other issues: the article was nominated at 1703 chars. D11 says "If an article otherwise qualifies for DYK, it is not a stub" (but D13 points out that these things are subjective). Nominated in time. Neutral. Sourcing accepted AGF (longest paragraph sourced to family-written obituary - may not be reliable - and to a book that I can't preview enough of to see the details about Duncan). No apparent copyvio. QPQ not needed (4th nomination by my count), but this wouldn't meet QPQ if one were needed. › Mortee talk 20:46, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
  • Mortee, did you check the ALT1 hook, which is short enough? (I've struck the original hook, since it is far too long.) Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:49, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
