In 1935, a radio evangelist became premier of Alberta based on his promises to end the Great Depression using unproven—some would say crackpot—monetary theories. As his Attorney General, he selected a man who viewed the implementation of those theories as unconstitutional. It went predictably.

This is on the short side for a featured biography, at about 2,000 words of readable prose. However, Hugill's notability comes primarily from his time as Attorney General, which lasted less than two years. With that in mind, I think this article is sufficiently comprehensive; I hope that you will find that it satisfies the other criteria as well. Steve Smith (talk) 09:28, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to point that out. Leaving out a detail like that makes me hesitant to review the article.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:25, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell, it's not source-able to secondary sources. However, for a detail like that, I think a primary source is fine, and I'll throw that in there later tonight; thanks, Caddyshack. Steve Smith (talk) 22:44, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Coord note After almost 3 weeks this has not gotten much in the way of substantial review or support. It may be archived in the next few days if we don't see progress towards promotion. (t · c) buidhe 01:05, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
