@SD0001: New enough and long enough. You are QPQ-exempt, as you have no DYK credits. I've removed an extra "the" from the hook, which is fine and cited (I added a direct inline citation at the mentioning sentence). Three of the paragraphs in the Career section lack inline citations; as all paragraphs in a DYK article must end in an inline citation, sources are required. That is the last obstacle for this article. Raymie (t • c) 19:05, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
