Created by Paul W (talk). Self nominated at 11:17, 21 February 2015 (UTC).
Length, date, hook's ref verified. No apparent close-paraphrasing issues. Refs appear to be RS. Issue1: not all non-lede paragraphs have refs yet. Issue2: no QPQ yet. @Paul W: Thank you for an interesting read; please ping me when these two issues are resolved. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
As this article is largely copied from the DNB, it does not have enough original content to meet DYK's minimums. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:36, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
- Any reply @Paul W:? Because otherwise this is a no. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 18:08, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- Apologies for delayed response to Nikkimaria. I accept the article is largely DNB-based but I found additional sources to verify some of the DNB assertions (wasn't aware of DYK policies regarding 'original content'). Not sure there is much else I can do. Paul W (talk) 19:04, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
