Created by Gwillhickers (talk). Self-nominated at 21:46, 11 June 2017 (UTC).
Article was nominated less than a week after creation; meets length criteria with over 3,500 characters of prose, sans long quote; no plagiarism, NPOV or overt grammatical issues with text. The inline citations are a bit shaky, with the main one authored by an amateur enthusiast, though he did cite his own sources (contemporary newspapers) well. Also, with such an obscure figure, newspaper epitaphs are all we have, and no better sources will be available anyhow - did some Google Books search myself. The hook fact (which is the person's main distinguishing info) is well established, relying on serious historians. Hook is formatted properly. Nominator met QPQ. Considering this a very liminal article notability-wise, it's as good as it may get. AddMore-III (talk) 18:36, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
