Portrait of Emil Aaltonen, by Antti Favén (1935)

• ... that Emil Aaltonen (pictured), a Finnish industrialist and philanthropist, went from a 13-year-old shoemaker's apprentice to owning and running the largest shoe manufacturing business in the Nordics? Source:

• The content of the hook is mentioned in the article where it is referenced with a foreign-language source that is AGF. The hook is interesting and is just short enough. The article looks good: it's new and long enough, no copyright violations are detected by the Earwig tool, a reference at the end of the "early life" section should probably be added, but that's not a huge enough issue to not give this article a tick. Image is free. This is the nominator's first submission to DYK, so no QPQ is needed yet. Good work! ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 06:56, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

References

Hi @Mccunicano: Thank you for your review and positive comments. Thanks also for pointing out that the reference to the Finnicisation of names was unsupported; I've now cited two sources (primary, but expert, so hopefully okay). Cheers, and Happy New Year! :) --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:39, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
