Hi, This one-sentence biography has one good reference. After searching, I'm unable to find more references to establish notability. It is missing biographical content such as early life, Career, Personal life, Achievements and honours. Please help this article for it to remain on Wikipedia.

5x expanded by Pbritti (talk). Self-nominated at 21:47, 23 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/William Maldon; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.Reply

New enough and large enough expansion. QPQ present. I removed the {{expand}} tag; I don't think all the sections would be very applicable to this particular biography, and you did a good job rescuing this from PROD. The hook fact checks out to source. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:33, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I guess I do understand the hook after reading. Lightburst (talk) 18:59, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
