  • Article meets requirement for length at 1971 B (304 words) readable prose size. Article sourcing is okay, neutrality good, no evident signs of copyvio. QPQ done.
The ALT0 hook is inaccurate, though: I believe the association was founded by 18 cardiologists, not 17 – see https://abcardio.org/history/ – and there are 18 names in the article. The source that is used says 17 cardiologists joined Richard Allen Williams, so again 18 in total. In any case, I think ALT1 is more interesting.
The article has some issues itself. Per both the sources above, Williams was the primary founder of the association – as well as its president for its first ten years – but the article doesn't really make that clear. Is the legal status of the association really a 'Charity'? That doesn't seem correct to me, is there a source for that? There are two instances of 'organisation' that should be 'organization' per WP:ENGVAR. There are a couple of stray '[' marks in the list founders. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:44, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Yoninah: Yes, I had noticed this too. I have now made changes to the article to address all the concerns I raised, so as far as I am concerned the article can proceed to DYK. Can I give it the checkmark, or does another reviewer need to come along and do that? Thanks ... Wasted Time R (talk) 00:14, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is now good to go. As stated above, I think ALT1 is more interesting than ALT0. Wasted Time R (talk) 10:22, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
