- Initial review. This important article is new enough (nominated within 2 days of creation) and long enough. Earwig says copyvio unlikely. There are no images, so licensing is not an issue. It would be nice if a few more sources were added, especially in light of his monumental achievements, but at least there is a minimum number covered. (I would also like to see an infobox and a list of his most notable publications – I saw that there is one that was especially groundbreaking (published in 4 parts) – but maybe that is outside the scope of this DYK review.) The QPQ is done. So that brings me to the hooks. In this particular case, I think the hooks really undersell who Weinstein is – most people have probably never heard of him. So my question to @97198: is: Are there alternate hooks you could come up with? I'll suggest one or two below but I'm sure there are others that might be even better.
- ALT2: ... that Louis Weinstein, a pioneer in infectious disease treatment, funded his studies at Yale University by working as a jazz violinist?
- ALT3: ... that by the end of the 1940s, infectious disease expert Louis Weinstein was warning of the dangers of antibiotic overuse and resistance? Cielquiparle (talk) 22:46, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Cielquiparle: Thanks for the review. I would be happy with either of your proposed hooks. You're welcome to add an infobox (or a list of publications) if you like, but I don't feel strongly about them and it is not part of the DYK criteria. 97198 (talk) 01:09, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
Approved per review above, plus some more hooks, which are backed up by sources cited in the article. Struck the first hook as too generic, but the others are OK. Happy to help workshop additional hooks if needed. Cielquiparle (talk) 04:35, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
