5x expanded by Muboshgu (talk). Self-nominated at 19:13, 11 October 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Muboshgu, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 10 October; article is well written (though I thought the main text was a little heavy on "DeLuca"s, some could possibly be replaced with "he" or similar); hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing; a QPQ has been carried out. I picked up a couple of minor issues with citations: I couldn't find a reference for his birth date and his place of death is mentioned in the infobox but not the main text and has no citation. If you could address those, I think this will be fine to run - Dumelow (talk) 15:04, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I was about to cite the DOB with Legistorm, but it looks like they're citing us? – Muboshgu (talk) 21:23, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- As for place of death, the obits say he died "at his home", and he's lived in Penn Hills for over 60 years. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:27, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muboshgu, sorry I must have missed the "at home" bit in the article. I've pulled the birth date out for now, pending finding a RS to source it. Good to run now - Dumelow (talk) 11:07, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thanks for the review. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:21, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
