Article is fairly barebones, but is long enough for DYK purposes. It is new enough and complies with policy. However, the suggested hook is very boring. Do you mind choosing a different fact? (His death provides some interesting possibilities, for example.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:42, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

I have added two alternative hooks now. Take a look :)--BabbaQ (talk) 14:20, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

ALT1 and ALT2 have both been verified by provided inline citations. I'll let the promoter decide whether to take the longer or shorter one, as I like both equally. --ThaddeusB (talk) 14:53, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
