Created by Kingoflettuce (talk). Self-nominated at 13:59, 17 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Marc Tay; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out and is interesting. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 16:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Kingoflettuce and Sammi Brie: :I see sources say he was an Ophthalmologist in the Gulf War. They are licensed to practice medicine and surgery, so I think the hook is ok. For accuracy, it may be good to locate a source that actually states he performed surgery during the GulF War. I will promote this hook in the mean time; it is always possible that my reading is not correct. Bruxton (talk) 18:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
