  • ☑Y Article is just long enough (1534 characters), new enough (moved to mainspace 12 September, nominated 13 September), and article is within policy. Smith is notable, as he passes WP:NFOOTY due to his 1 appearance for Swindon
  • ☑Y Hook is short enough, interesting (getting a medal despite never having played for a club is unusual and therefore interesting), in the article, and well-cited
  • ☑Y QPQ done
  • Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
