Created by ERcheck (talk). Self-nominated at 03:29, 8 March 2018 (UTC).
New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. First hook is very catchy, IMO; hook refs verified and cited inline. No QPQ needed for first-time nominator. The only lingering issue is that this page is an orphan. Please link it in at least one other Wikipedia page (e.g. his place of birth, place of education, etc.). Yoninah (talk) 07:50, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments. The article now is linked in Carlos Hathcock and Edward James Land articles. — ERcheck (talk) 03:05, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
