@Thriley: At 1555 characters and created July 19 the article qualifies for DYK under our rules. The biography is however somewhat perfunctory yet might just satisfy at a minimum WP:DYKSG#D7. The article is classified as a stub at the moment so we need to change that for the article cannot proceed WP:DYKSG#D11. Since the subject is deceased we can also upload an NF image to add interest to the article. The article is neutral and sourced; it has the correct inline citations and I do not find evidence of plagiarism. The QPQ is done and the hook is cited, in the article and interesting.
