Kenneth Lawson

Created by Ezlev (talk). Self-nominated at 05:18, 30 September 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: "He stated in 2019 that he was a tenure-track faculty member;" You should be able to confirm this with an official source rather than rely on Lawson's statement. (t · c) buidhe 05:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Buidhe, I agree, I should be! Unfortunately, I don't think I can. I've removed the statement from the lede. It's clearly attributed in the body but I'll remove it there as well if you feel that's necessary. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 06:15, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
I've also added a citation to the paragraph that was missing one. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 06:18, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
I have no objection to that. Looks like the article would be OK for DYK except Mccapra has placed a notability tag on it. Notability issues should be resolved before this can be passed. (t · c) buidhe 06:38, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, Buidhe! I believe notability is established, but will happily add some more information and sources to the article if Mccapra disagrees. That won’t happen ‘till tomorrow, though. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 06:47, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
Buidhe, I've added sources and removed the tag, and the page has been reviewed by another reviewer. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 19:09, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

It's already approved and if there are no further notability disputes I don't see any barrier to promotion. (t · c) buidhe 20:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
