 * Symbol confirmed.svg A new enough GA. It is extensively cited and all three hooks have citations in the article. I think ALT0 is the most interesting, followed by ALT1; ALT2 is kind of dry. This is Trillfendi's third DYK nomination—no QPQ necessary. I do note there is a "citation needed" on the last sentence in the "Early life" subheading—probably worth a quick fix, but not enough to derail this DYK. Raymie (t • c) 04:03, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
