all mostly looks good with this. It's new enough, just long enough (although at 1543 characters, it's extremely tight and it would certainly be useful to expand it a bit further with more detail). No obvious copyvios, and referencing is sound. The hook fact checks out. It also doesn't look directly related to British politics or the areas that the nominator was recently topic banned from for DYK, so no probs there IMHO. My one issue is with the use (in the article but not in the hook) of the term "believed to be". This is mentioned at WP:WEASEL as something to avoid, unless it is clarified who believes. It might be better to just use some variant of "probably", as the hook and the source do, if that can be achieved without too much close paraphrasing. Once that's sorted, should be good to go.

OK, good to go now. Thanks. I had a quick scour around for more information on this to expand a bit, and couldn't find very much. But there seems to be enough sourcing for WP:GNG in any case and there probably would be more in offline sourcing if one could get hold of it! Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 11:24, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
