 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. However, there are paragraphs within the biography section which are not sourced with inline citations. I suggested a new ALT1 reworded hook which paraphrases & does not use quotes which might be confusing to reader. The hook is of a good length, is neutral and is sourced. QPQ is done. --Big_iron (talk) 10:51, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I (article creator) have added additional inline citations, and proposed a slightly more streamlined ALT2 above which uses simpler language, is a bit shorter, and wikilinks in vitro for the reader's convenience. Feel free to amend or strike rejected hooks. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg  Article should be good to go. I like the ALT2 hook. --Big_iron (talk) 00:44, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
