- Article is new enough, long enough, contains appropriate citations, does not contain plagiarism or close paraphrasing, and deals with the subject in a neutral manner. No violations of WP:BLP apparent. Hook is properly formatted and short enough. Although the hook mentions a negative aspect of a living individual (failing an accountancy exam), I do not feel that this is an undue emphasis as long as the hook also mentions something about his success.
However, the fact that RBS was once the world's largest bank is not stated in the article. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 03:16, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I also considered BLP issues - the exam bit was widely reported, and has not stopped him becoming very successful in his career. As for RBS once being the world's largest bank, although it is in the RBS article, it must also be in this artcile, so I have added it along with a citation.Edwardx (talk) 10:16, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
All issues addressed, good to go. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 19:59, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
