Article is new enough and long enough. Some issues with sourcing: None of the information sourced to #1 cite appears to be at the citation given - maybe a pagenumber error? Not sure I can find the genealogical information in the source given, either. The "opposed by missionaires" and "drunk" bits I can't find. Hooks are well sourced with inline citations, aside from that "drunk" issue. I'd prefer the second one, as more interesting. Basic QPQ is done. Needs some sourcing issues ironed out before it can be sent off.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:54, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Citation #1. Wrong book by Pukui. Changed it.

Citation for second hook: "Early in June 1834, Kauikeaouli went to his retreat in Pu- 'uloa. It was, we may imagine, another of his attempts to escape whatever routine affairs of government he was involved in, the restraints of the mission and the powerful chiefs — perhaps even a reaction to the horrors of death from the epidemic; he needed almost continuously to indulge his desire for excitement, change, and drink. This time he wanted his sister with him, and he sent a ship to Honolulu to bring her to Pearl River. She refused to go. It was said she feared the disapproval of Hoapili. The day after this rebuff, shocking news reached Honolulu. The king had attempted suicide...Honolulu was filled with speculation and gossip: some claimed that Kauikeaouli was depressed over the deaths of Kuakini's daughter and Keola; others agreed with the missionaries that he had acted in a fit of drunkenness..." (Sinclair 1976, p. 141) and Borofsky 2000, p. 204–205 merely reinforces that the king had committed suicide nothing related to Kamanele.

"opposed by"...It is not a quotation but the language is clearly one of opposition: including actions by Judd, Chamberlain, Richards and the chiefs to keep the siblings apart. A citation to the entire article by Sinclair could be added but I don't think it is necessary.
