 * Symbol voting keep.svg Length and date are OK, hook is by AGF. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 01:55, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It took me a while to work out what AGF means. Assuming I got it right, this scan of the newspaper clipping quoted may be helpful. Ansbaradigeidfran (talk) 08:35, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg Current hook is 25 characters too long, and I would suggest much shorter if possible.  Harrias  talk 08:05, 7 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The nominator has not edited in two weeks, and the hook issue needs to be addressed soon—I've struck the old hook, and an ALT one will be needed. If an ALT hook is created, a full review is then in order, since only length and date have been checked, and none of the other DYK criteria from neutrality to close paraphrasing.
