Article has several tags; nominator has not worked on it in more than a month. If it is improved to GA, please renominate then.
Comment: Still working on this, as there is a huge body of medical lit to plow through and some historical/ fashion stuff. I've run out of my week deadline on nomination, but have a pile of notes and intend to edit this article substantially before it goes up. Hopefully I will also come up with a better hook.

Article is was created eight days ago. ~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 21:47, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Flunking an article that was nominated less than two hours later that it ought to have been seems unnecessarily harsh to me. A little leniency is a good thing, especially given the work that has gone into the article, and how close to the deadline the nomination was. I should point out to HLHJ that a QPQ review will be needed if the review is to progress, and the hook needs to have a bold link to the nominated article.

I agree with BlueMoonset. --evrik(talk) 20:54, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, evrik, that's very kind, but not needed. I could probably dig through the history and find a few, but I like doing QPQs. Separately, I'd like to hold this nomination while another editor finishes an illustration that would be useful, and I edit the article some more. HLHJ (talk) 18:45, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
@HLHJ: Well, I've already donated the QPQ. If you like doing QPQ's I suggest you find some deserving articles and donate you work, maybe this on William Verbeck. As an aside, this should have been ready to go when you nominated it. As it is CAPTAIN MEDUSA flagged it for being late. If it's to be ready for being featured on the front page, do it now. Especially the unsourced statements. --evrik(talk) 16:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
I think this needs work. --evrik(talk) 16:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Agreed; I have a large file of notes, and will work on it in the new year. HLHJ (talk) 04:20, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
@HLHJ: Per my comments on December 16, this should have been closer to finished when it was nominated. I'm giving this a no. Can you dinish it this week? Perhaps you should work on a GA nomination. --evrik(talk) 03:57, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
