Newly created article of an ITN Recent Death article, which are still DYK eligible. It's long enough, neutral and well sourced. No sign of close paraphrasing. The hook fact is interesting. But, why doesn't the article link to 1976 Zaire Ebola virus outbreak? QPQ is done. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:19, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your review. I have now made a link to that article. Thriley (talk) 20:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great. That was my only concern. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:55, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thriley, ForsythiaJo, Spencer, and Muboshgu: Hook's a bit person-does-their-jobby, got anything else? (If I had my druthers we'd be running "... that Joel Breman, who was part of the team which combatted the 1976 Zaire Ebola virus outbreak, died while in Chevy Chase?", but I suspect pigs will fly before that gets past WP:DYKGRAT.)--Laun chba ller 09:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 that Joel Breman, who helped combat the 1976 Ebola virus outbreak in Zaire, was not expected to return alive by the pilots that dropped him there? Thriley (talk) 16:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Short enough, cited, and interesting. Let's roll.--Laun chba ller 16:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
