 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hi Hawkeye7, review follows: article moved to mainspace 5 February; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources (the last two are perhaps not traditionally "reliable" but sufficient to cover the specific information they are used for); I found no copyright violation from spotchecks on the sources I could access; hook is interesting; A minor query, the article only explicitly states that he was the first to attend the school - can the hook or article be altered so that they match? AGF on hook source, but the extract above backs it up; QPQ has been carried out. I cannot check the image source (it is blocked for access from the EU) but licensing appears to be appropriate - Dumelow (talk) 08:39, 8 February 2019 (UTC)


 * The source says that he was the first to graduate, so changed the article text to match the source and the hook. It is indeed possible that another attended an earlier course and did not graduate.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:51, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
