• This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. @Coffeeandcrumbs: A QPQ needs to be done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:42, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
  • @Cwmhiraeth: done. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 07:14, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
• Thank you. This nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:29, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

• @Cwmhiraeth: I have changed "diplomat" to "civil servant" as that is a more accurate description for her position. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 04:38, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
