Ján Vojtaššák
- ... that Ján Vojtaššák, deputy chairman of the Slovak parliament when it approved the deportation of Jews from Slovakia, is being considered for beatification?

- Comment: Please feel free to suggest a shorter hook. (As an aside, there is no way to prove if Vojtassak voted for the deportation due to the lack of record keeping.)

Article is long enough, and has been expanded enough within the requisite timeframe. I cannot detect any copyvios. It is appropriately cited; AGF on offline sources. A couple of questions/suggestions; can you link "Slovak parliament" in the hook? Also; the sources and the article switch between beatification and canonization, and if my understanding is correct those are different. I'm confused by the phrase "the president of the Jewish community"; I imagine he is president of an organization representing the Jewish community, or claiming to; hardly the president of all Slovak Jews. Finally, the article doesn't make it absolutely explicit that he was deputy chairman when the deportations were approved; I don't doubt it, but someone could argue that the entirety of the hook isn't in the article.

- Vanamonde: 1) There is no WP article on the WWII Slovak parliament, so it would be a redlink. 2) Beatification and canonization are used correctly in the article; beatification is a step on the way to canonization. 3) Technically he is the president of Ústredný zväz židovských náboženských obcí v Slovenskej republike, edited to reflect that. 4) Addressed explicitly. Thanks for the review! buidhe 03:25, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
