    • Comment: Please save for May 13, his 78th birthday (exactly eight weeks and five days from now). Request to IAR the "six weeks in advance" rule. Eligible per Rule 1d, because it only appeared in the "Recent Deaths" section of ITN and not as a bold link.

Interesting life and work, fine expansion on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I'm not quite happy with the hooks which seem a bit to expect that everybody knows him, and wants to know a little extra. How about getting to his writing, Khmer genocide for example. Or if something extra, how about teaching to inmates, rather than urban planning? - I'd accept the little longer wait because of the special day. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:42, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thank you. Open for more, such as he taught to inmates also as a writer, no? Of the two we have I prefer ALT2, bacause while that title is catchy, it is - superficially looking, and I'm afraid that's what the Main page readers are - about television ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:08, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
