 * Symbol voting keep.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The ALT1 hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. I don't like ALT0 because it reminds me of the Israelites being led across the Red Sea. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:35, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Maybe a little more description in the hook, like who he is, would make ALT1 hookier. Yoninah (talk) 21:24, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * is this better? Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:32, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg yes, thank you. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. I'm promoting this, but please add an infobox to this and other biographical articles that you write. Yoninah (talk) 22:03, 1 July 2019 (UTC) |}}
