• ALT1 ... that when Dr Joseph Brittan's (pictured) caused a scandal in England, he responded by emigrating to Christchurch, New Zealand, following his brother Guise Brittan?
• I've started a bio for his brother. That's not ready yet, but meets DYK requirements by now. Schwede66 06:03, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

• Everything checks out. Both articles are new enough (Joseph Brittan was moved from userspace 11 September) and nominated in time. Articles is long enough, is neutral and well-written, and have inline citations. Hook is interesting and the first part of the hook is backed up by an offline source (hence AGF) and the second part is backed up by an online source. Good to go!
