QPQ: 
- Not done
Overall: 
I've gone in and made a few amends to the article, hope that's okay. Seems like an interesting guy! Article is long enough (2294 characters), nominated just in time (created 25 August, nominated 1 September), well-sourced, no copyvio issues detected via Earwig. Hook cited, in-line, and is interesting. Needs a QPQ but otherwise this seems good to go. @Schwede66:, going to use this as my QPQ for Louise Potiki Bryant, if you wouldn't mind also giving a once-over to check I haven't missed anything. :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 09:11, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
- I've had a look and all seems in order, Chocmilk03. Well done. Schwede66 09:37, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the improvements! I nearly forgot about nominating the article for DYK, so I nominated a bit before it felt complete so it would be within the time limit. Thriley (talk) 05:45, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Just did my QPQ. Thriley (talk) 07:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
