Whilst the article (just) meets the length requirement of 1500 Bytes and has recently been expanded, it is quite clearly still a stub and is not ready for mainpage exposure. Refer to the length rules and additional rules D7 and D11. Nominator appears to have only two DYKs so far, so a QPQ review is not required. Schwede66 19:28, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmm. Problem is, I don't think there is much more to add to this article - there just doesn't seem anything else available, other than a couple of trivial tidbits (for instance, he was nominated for a Consul position in Canada by Pres. Grant, but apparently declined (and that's the most significant.) I can't find any family details, details on the rest of his life, when he came to Florida and left, etc. I suppose this lack of information could be remarked on in the article; or else, the DYK nomination could just be withdrawn.

I'm sorry to hear that you can't find anything else about this person. I suggest we just fail this nomination. I hope this won't stop you from nominating another article sometime soon, and I for one would certainly appreciate further contributions from you. Schwede66 10:54, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- I agree, I withdraw it. Don't worry, I'll be back when I have an appropriate article with an interesting tag. Comment: the procedures for nominating and reviewing these DYKs seem unnecessarily confusing and cumbersome. Maybe it really isn't that bad, but the directions make it seem really hard. I think there would be more reviewers if it appeared easier.Brianyoumans (talk) 14:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
