Newly created article which is long enough and nominated for DYK in time. Article is written in neutral tone, well-sourced and free of close-paraphrasing issues. Hook is interesting and contains two facts, which are present in the bolded article with inline citations. In case the Douglas Archives source is considered to be unreliable, there is this news report which confirms that Neil became president of RCPE. QPQ review is also done, so this one is good to go.
