Muboshgu It has been 22 days since this was nominated, please provide a QPQ ASAP. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:54, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph2302, apologies for letting this one slip. QPQ provided. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:39, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Y Article is long enough (2056 characters), new enough (created 10 May, nominated 13 May) and article is within policy. Have checked Newspapers.com references and they are fine
Y Hook is short enough, reasonably interesting, and well cited
Y QPQ has now been done
Overall this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:01, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't get the hook at all. Is there something I'm missing? Yoninah (talk) 23:18, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yoninah, I meant it to be pretty straightforward. His last name and alma mater are the same. The university was named after one of his ancestors. I thought it was quirky enough for a hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I figured one of his ancestors was a founder. Oh well, who am I to complain? Restoring tick. Yoninah (talk) 23:30, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
