5x expanded by Clithering (talk). Self nominated at 16:23, 7 May 2014 (UTC).

Easily qualifies the 5x expansion and length requirements. Many sources are offline, but information from online ones show no evidence of close paraphrasing after a spot-check. The bio appears neutrally-worded and claims are clearly cited. The hook is from an offline source Who was who published by A & C Black in London. I've added the ISBN for this source so it can be more easily verified by readers. The hook is interesting (I also think "senior unofficial member" is a title that is all sorts of silly). QPQ is done, and I see no other issues. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 06:10, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
