William W. Cargill

Created by Edwardx (talk), Nsteffel (talk), Zigzig20s (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 00:41, 23 November 2014 (UTC).

  • This article meets WP criteria for a new creation. It is long enough, neutral and has sources cited with in-line citations. The hook is interesting, but currently does not have an in-line citation. The nominee has done a QPQ.

Although the hook is accurate, I am concerned that the article does not have enough discussion to show how the company founded by Cargill became the largest private company in the world. It was a relatively small company when the founder died in the early 20th Century. I think it should discuss the early expansions begun by William and his brothers and how the Cargills and their in-laws (the MacMillans) maintained ownership through the years. Further work on this is likely to yield a better quality hook. Bruin2 (talk) 00:28, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
