• Comment: Third nomination, so no QPQ. Also, I am aware of the BLP policy and have tried to be cautious, but if there are any issues feel free to rectify them or point them out.. this is my first time contributing majorly to a BLP.

• Article long and new enough. As neutral as it can get, I think. It can probably benefit from the use of the Infobox Office template, but it’s not necessarily required. QPQ not needed and no copyvio detected. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 10:59, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

• @Juxlos: I have added Infobox officeholder. Which hook do you think is the most neutral? Thanks, eviolite (talk) 16:58, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

• @Eviolite: ALT3, I’d say. Juxlos (talk) 20:20, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
