 * Symbol possible vote.svg A QPQ review appears to be needed before this can move forward. North America1000 01:55, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg QPQ is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Review
 * Article converted from redirect and nominated the same day, over 2000 characters so long enough, and policy compliant.
 * References need cleaning up, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13 are newspaper articles missing publication dates, and 4 is a bare url.
 * QPQ review done, as required.
 * Washington Post source confirms "Cajun John Wayne", so ALT0 is ok.  He is no longer a Representative-elect, so a reference to his being an incumbent member of the House of Reps should be added and ALTs modified accordingly.
 * ALT0 is neutral and short enough.
 * Earwig raises no issues, merely noting names of positions etc, and no close paraphrasing is observed.
 * Text notes a deceased first wife who is not included in the infobox, she should be added if her name is available.
 * Symbol question.svg Referencing needs fixing and the House position needs updating, but these are easy fixes. ALT0 is fine, other ALTs dependent on updates.  EdChem (talk) 07:50, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Hooks have been updated to indicate he's sworn in. Will look into the referencing later today. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:25, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * The bare url is filled in, and a source added that he was sworn in yesterday. Sources don't need to be fully filled out by any DYK rules that I'm aware of, though I will go through them anyway. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:28, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * You are correct that the rules do not require the dates, but I do appreciate that you have provided them. Had you only addressed the bare url and added the update on swearing-in, I would probably have added the dates myself.  :)  The ALTs are now all confirmed, so I can finalise the nomination.

 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT0, ALT1, and ALT2 are all confirmed. Nomination requirements met, ready for promotion.  My preference is ALT1, but I'm comfortable with the others if the promoter has a different view.  Nominator Muboshgu might want to express a preference, too.

 * Thank you. I also prefer ALT1. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:01, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
