• ... that Jessie Ross is the last speaker of East Sutherland Gaelic?[1]
  • ALT1:... that Nancy Dorian's reasearch into East Sutherland Gaelic produced "the first major monograph" on language death? Source: Dressler, Wolfgang U. (June 1982). "Language Death: The Life Cycle of a Scottish Gaelic Dialect". Language. 58 (2): 432. doi:10.2307/414109. JSTOR 414109.
  • ALT2:... that East Sutherland Gaelic was spoken by the descendents of Scottish Gaelic speakers who had been evicted from the interior of Sutherland during the Highland Clearances?

• Comment: The content was originally written from 3 September on the Nancy Dorian page, but I had to split it off. The Dorian article cannot be co-nominated as it has not undergone fivefold expansion.

Length, history and all references verified. I like the original hook the best; if for some reason we don't want to use it, ALT1 is almost as good. Daniel Case (talk) 04:36, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

• The QPQ has already been used for Template:Did you know nominations/Wilma Mankiller. Yoninah (talk) 13:07, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

• I apologize for the oversight - it's a mistake I keep worrying that I'm going to make. However, I have also reviewed Template:Did you know nominations/Phạm Thận Duật and would like to use it for qpq. Catrìona (talk) 14:55, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you. QPQ done. Restoring tick per Daniel Case's review. Yoninah (talk) 18:00, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Promoting ALT1 rather than ALT0 because we can't be sure from article or source that Jessie's surname is Ross. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:17, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
