 * Comment: Not a self-nomination. I think I like the original or alt1 hook more, but you decide. I was thinking April Fools, but I am not sure if that's appropriate.
 * NOTE: I've struck the first few hooks as they're all factually inaccurate, please read the article text, it's not his son, it's someone else's son, thank you. I DO NOT think "April Fools" is appropriate for this, please just use any regular date ASAP, thank you. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 12:12, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added another hook. I agree that April Fool's would be inappropriate. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 01:41, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you,, I like ALT6 the best. :) &mdash; Cirt (talk) 01:43, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Seconded: it is by far the best. G S Palmer (talk • contribs) 01:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article is new enough and long enough and also qualifies for DYK as a newly-promoted GA. The image is appropriately licensed and the hook facts are amply cited in the article. Any of the hooks ALT4, ALT5, ALT6 and ALT7 could be used. The article seems neutral and I found no copyright/close paraphrasing issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:35, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
