Long enough. New enough. Well written. Reliable citations throughout. Online citations check out. AGF on offline/pay-walled sources. No copyright violations I can see. A well written article on someone who made important contributions to science. The main hook is ok. GTG. Hybernator (talk) 21:32, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
