Leonard Redshaw edit
- ... that, in 1965, Leonard Redshaw became the managing director of Vickers Shipbuilding, a company he had first joined as a 16 year-old apprentice?
- ALT1:... that, in later life, Sir Leonard Redshaw was part of a "Suicide Squad" of scientists and engineers who would be first responders in disasters involving nuclear reactors?
Created by J Milburn (talk). Self-nominated at 15:25, 6 August 2015 (UTC).
Article is of sufficient length, recent vintage, and neutral tone. Citations are present and the hook fact is directly cited. (I would prefer a few more sources but the DYK minimum is met.) Tone is neutral and, based on the portion of the one online source that is not paywalled, close paraphrasing has been largely avoided. The article and hook are interesting while the hook is of reasonable length. Creator is well over the threshold but no QPQ evidence has been presented. This last item is all that prevents me from applying the AGF checkmark. - Dravecky (talk) 21:53, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
