I'll review this one, —Noswall59 (talk) 22:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC).
The article is new enough (created 25 Feb 2015, nominated 3 Mar 2015); long enough (2026 chars); it is neutral; the article uses citations throughout; however, I am concerned that parts of the article bear close resemblance to this source: [1].
The hook is short enough, accurate (it is cited in the article), is interesting, neutral and well-written.
Other: QPQ checks out, and there are no images involved.

For the reason stated above, I am putting this on hold and await your response. Many thanks, —Noswall59 (talk) 22:24, 5 March 2015 (UTC).

The similarity is only in two sentences that list the dates and places of his birth and degrees. I believe this falls under WP:LIMITED. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 22:39, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Okay, I thought this might be the case. I have altered the wording a bit, because it did adhere so closely to that source. As far as I can see, this is ready to go, so I will pass it. Well done, —Noswall59 (talk) 16:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC).
