  • I'm sorry that you've had to wait so long for a review. Move date checks out, subject seems notable, prose portion of article is over 1500 characters. Earwig copyvio detector doesn't suggest copyright violations. QPQ has been met. ALT1 seems like the most neutral hook, so I'd suggest going with that one but the sentence that mentions this doesn't actually specify that he served for 16 years. I know it says so in the infobox, but it might just be worth putting it in the text explicitly. Hook is interesting, neutral, reliably sourced, verified by an inline citation, and is under 200 characters. Otherwise good to go! A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 18:47, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
  • @A Thousand Doors: if you find any reason to disqualify a hook, you should do so, rather than approving the nomination and relying on the nominator to fix it after it goes to the main page. The goal of DYK is also to promote hooky hooks, which is why I'm surprised that you chose the most boring hook as the best. The first hook is by far the hookiest of the lot, and is verified by an inline citation. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 21:28, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
