Michael Shanks
- ... that before Michael Shanks (pictured) became the Member of Parliament for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, he ran all of Glasgow's 6143 streets?

Created by HoopaRoopa (talk), PatGallacher (talk), Moondragon21 (talk) and Crowsus (talk). Nominated by Sahaib (talk) at 06:47, 6 October 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Michael Shanks (politician); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
The article is long enough. It was first created some months ago but moved in and out of redirect status and the current was created from scratch on the 5th. The hook is interesting and cited with citations from the article. The article is fully presentable, it is a bit of a minimal biography but I assume there isn't that much information about him. The source says the image is under the license claimed on its page. It looks fine at a low resolution but there might be other nominations with images that are preferable.
