Arone Teikatoara, Bernardo Putairi

 * ... that Bernardo Putairi (pictured) succeeded as the final Prince Regent of Mangareva after his predecessor Arone Teikatoara kissed a girl on the street?

 * Symbol voting keep.svg These two articles are new enough and long enough. There is some duplication of text between the two articles but I think Arone Teikatoara, the second article to be written, has enough unique prose to qualify. The image is in the public domain and the hook facts are sourced inline. The articles are neutral and neither Earwig nor I detected any copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:40, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
