 * Symbol confirmed.svg. Article created 15 June 2017, expanded immediately much more the next day. QPQ done. Article is over 2,000 characters. Hook verified. Article is well sourced with neutral presentation. Hook is interesting. Sagecandor (talk) 04:06, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg It appears that the subject himself has done some editing on this article. These edits will need to be checked for WP:NPOV. Also, the honorific "Hon." should be removed on the second and subsequent mentions of his name, per WP:SURNAME. Yoninah (talk) 21:49, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello Yoninah, thanks for the review of the DYK, I have looked at the concerns you raised. They are all true especially the edits made by User:EgyaMercer. I have addressed them. Please go through the article again and if you are satisfied you can approve it for the main page. Thanks. Cross Temple   Jay  10:11, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd just like to note that a similar hook which you nominated,  ... that Ernest Addison, the fifteenth Governor of the Bank of Ghana, is a Mfantsipim alumnus?, got only 437 hits. That is not considered hooky, and neither is this hook. Yoninah (talk) 23:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I get you point perfectly. I have suggested a new hook. How does it look? Cross Temple  Jay  14:43, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It's hard to come up with something hooky to say about politicians' campaign and election records. But you do have something a little more colorful in his political achievements:
 * ALT2: ... that Sekondi MP Andrew Mercer helped repay the debt owed to the Ghana Football Association by Sekondi Eleven Wise, a Division 1 league club in his constituency? Yoninah (talk) 00:08, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT2 is very good. Thanks. Cross Temple   Jay  14:02, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg 	Thank you. New reviewer needed for ALT2. Yoninah (talk) 16:33, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approving ALT2 which has an inline citation for the hook fact and is interesting. Other parts of the review as per Sagecandor. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:05, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
