All hooks approved (able to access the book citation through Google Books), and all criteria met. Proposed an alternative to the original hook, but I'm not sure it's better. Also did some tweaks to the original hook, and did some clean-up on the article. Thanks for writing this Indonesian biography! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 03:42, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
