 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. Hook refs are verified and cited inline. No QPQ necessary for nominator who has less than 5 DYK credits. I prefer ALT2, although I appreciate the brevity of ALT3. The only problem is that the word "sacked" appears in all the sources. To avoid close paraphrasing, I changed it to "dismissed" in the article. You could also change it to "fired", "discharged", or "removed". What do you think? Yoninah (talk) 20:02, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. I admit it doesn't have the same force as "sacked", but I appreciate your following the DYK rules. ALT4 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 15:56, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
