Created by BeanieFan11 (talk).

- Article passes creation and length requirements, both hooks work and contain a source. The article itself is adequately sourced, I would suggest changing "Portland, Oregon" to just "Portland" in the sentence "He moved to Portland, Oregon, when he was young." due to the state already being specified in the previous sentence, but the sentence itself may be an issue with its similarity to the source, not sure though. QPQs need to be finished, feel free to let me know once they are. Thanks! B3251 (talk) 20:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- @B3251: QPQs done. Reworded that one sentence. BeanieFan11 (talk) 02:14, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
