Hi Catrìona, review follows: article moved to mainspace 4 November; article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited in line throughout to reliable sources; I didn't detect any overly close paraphrasing from the sources given; hook is interesting and cited in the article to a reliable source that backs it up I have amended the hook slightly (ALT1 below) as the original made it appear the world record was for weight lost, when it was for duration. Let me know if you are not happy with the alternative. QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to go - Dumelow (talk) 15:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
ALT1: ... that Angus Barbieri fasted for more than a year, setting a world record and losing 276 pounds (125 kg)?

Fair point. I have no objection to ALT1. Catrìona (talk) 19:41, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Catrìona. Just one other thing, there aren't any links to the article as yet. It'll need some added from other articles to stop it from being tagged as an orphan - Dumelow (talk) 20:32, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
